The Icelandic Yule Lads
The Yule Lads gives the readers of all ages a delightful insight into the history, customs and characters of Christmas in Iceland.

Gifts left in shoes, milk disappearing from the fridge, mysterious figures whisking into the shadows … at Christmas time in Iceland this can mean only 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 colourful folklore featuring the giant troll Grýla, her thirteen rascally sons, and that huge, hungry feline – the Yule cat. The Yule Lads gives the readers of all ages a delightful insight into the history, customs and characters of Christmas in Iceland.
