(Among Pixies and Trolls)
The annual collection of fairy tales (first published 1907) written by various authors that Bauer contributed to till the end of his life except in 1911. Here he published the famous story of the princess Tuvstarr captured by the trolls. Here are two illustrations:
And here is a later cover illustration by E. Norelius (who wrote and illustrated for the magazine for 50 years from 1926 to 1980) in a style rather like John Bauer's of a princess captured by the trolls:
Other illustrators who have participated are Gustaf Tenggren, well-known for his work for Walt Disney and who followed more closely in Bauer's step than any other artist, and, after Norelius stopped in 1980, Hans Arnold.
Among the writers one finds Tove Jansson, Elsa Beskow and adult novelists like Hjalmar Bergman.
