The originals stayed in the family
It was not until 1974 that all 32 original sheets, including the title page, came to the Nationalmuseum from Elsa Beskow’s descendants. The images for Tomtebobarnen had already been in print since 1910 – the original watercolours had therefore remained within the family for more than six decades.

The story behind the motif

Poster with an illustration from one of Sweden's most loved children's books of all time: Tomtebobarnen by Elsa Beskow from 1910.

Elsa Beskow (1874-1953) was a Swedish author and illustrator, known for her storybooks for children that combine text and images in a unique way. She wrote and illustrated over 40 books that have become classics in Swedish children's literature. Beskow's stories are often filled with nature romance and Nordic folklore, making them timeless and beloved by generations.

Santa's children is one of Elsa's most famous books and was published in 1910. The book tells the story of a small family of elves who live in a stump in the forest. Through beautiful illustrations and poetic text, Beskow depicts the adventures of the little elves and their interactions with animals and nature. The book is a tribute to the beauty of nature and has an educational tone that encourages care for the environment.

Artist: Elsa Beskow | Created: 1910
