The Yule lads

Over centuries the Icelanders have developed a highly unusual set of Yuletide traditions, from the food they eat - smoked lamb, rotten skate and leaf bread - to their colorful folklore featuring the giant troll Grýla, her thirteen rascally sons, and that huge, hungry feline - the Yule Cat. The Yule lads gives readers of all ages a delightful insight into the history, customs and characters of Christmas in Iceland.
