Gifts left in shoes, milk disappearing from the fridge, mysterious figures whisking into the shadows...at Christmas time in Iceland this can only mean one thing---the Yule Lads are back in town! Over the 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 Gryla, 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.
