A bit of artistic whimsy. Kjell E. Midthun (b. 1954) is a Norwegian artist who specializes in illustrations of nisser (gnomes) in rural surroundings. "Nisse on Skagen". "Hvaler innaskjærs". "Dove of Peace". "Happy naturists. Grimsdalen."

— Stia attento vossignoria a ciò che dice, e anche più a ciò che fa
— disse Sancio

— perché non vorrei che fossero altre gualchiere
le quali finissero di gualchierarci
e gramolarci l'ossa.

Os Nisser também são do folclore da região. São gnomos benfazejos. Nisse é o nome na Dinamarca e Noruega, Tomte é o nome Sueco, Kabouter nos Países Baixos, e na Finlândia é Tomtenisse ou Tonttu
