В саге о Нильсе Тульвессоне Густав аф Геерстам (1820-1875) вернулся к популярной в средние века теме детства знаменитостей. Герой книги — профессиональный агонгист основатель шведского театра Королевская опера в Стокгольме, тёзка знаменитого премьер-министра, не считая того, отца трёх дочерей.

Хильдур была прелестной игрушкой, кельтский крест, что висел на шее священника, может быть люди и приняли бы её за человека, будь они более внимательными. Или не менее прожорливыми. И любопытыми. Ей казалось, что они хотят забрать её, чтобы поселить в зале, где они делали записи, с фигурами на полу и серебряными шарами под потолком. Они были очень странными созданиями, и от них пахло мраком. Возможно даже смертью. Все они были людьми без кожи, но потом она увидела главного, которым для неё был священник. Сверкающая кожа, за спиной изогнутые дугой золотые крылья, такие как у ангелов на шкафах и в нишах.
