''Bland Tomtar Och Troll'' (Among Gnomes and Trolls) is a series of Swedish annual fairy tale books that first appeared in 1907, becoming a classic and much-loved part of Swedish folklore and literature. The series is most famously associated with the artist John Bauer, whose illustrations have become iconic in Swedish visual arts. Bauer contributed to the series from 1907 until his tragic death in 1918, and his work during this period is considered some of the most outstanding in the series.

John Bauer was born on June 4, 1882, in Jönköping, Sweden, and he attended the Royal Swedish Academy of Arts in Stockholm, where he developed his distinctive style. His illustrations for ''Bland Tomtar Och Troll'' are characterized by their moody, ethereal landscapes and the often melancholic, mystical creatures that inhabit them. Bauer's trolls are particularly notable for their unique and now quintessential design, with their large noses, heavy, stooped figures, and shaggy hair and beards, which have influenced the depiction of trolls in art and media worldwide.

The stories in ''Bland Tomtar Och Troll'' were written by various Swedish authors and compiled by the series' editor, Cyrus Granér. The tales often draw from Scandinavian folklore and mythology, featuring magical creatures, brave children, and enchanting adventures. Bauer's illustrations are integral to the series' success, as they bring the stories to life with a sense of wonder and an otherworldly atmosphere.

Bauer's work on ''Bland Tomtar Och Troll'' has been praised for its imaginative power and technical skill, and his illustrations have had a lasting impact on the fantasy genre. His art is celebrated for its ability to evoke the mysterious and magical qualities of the Nordic wilderness and its mythical inhabitants. The legacy of John Bauer's art continues to be honored in Sweden and beyond, with his images from ''Bland Tomtar Och Troll'' remaining popular in various forms, from prints and posters to adaptations in other media.

The ''Bland Tomtar Och Troll'' series has continued after Bauer's death, with various artists contributing illustrations over the years. However, it is Bauer's work that remains most closely associated with the series and which has ensured its place as a treasured part of Sweden's cultural heritage.
