In Iceland, books are exchanged as Christmas Eve presents, then you spend the rest of the night in bed reading them and eating chocolate. This tradition is called 'JOLABOKAFLOD' or 'The Christmas Book Flood'.
EACH BOOK FROM ARMATUER'S JOLABOKAFLOD SECTION COMES WRAPPED BEAUTIFULLY WITH A CERAMIC CHRISTMAS TREE DOODLE ORNAMENT
ABOUT THE BOOK
Ranging from Hans Christian Andersen to Karl Ove Knausgaard, have yourself a Nordic noel with the very best Scandinavian Christmas tales
Have yourself a truly Scandinavian Christmas... Of visions and prophesies seen in dark, dark woods. Of toys and trees come to life. Of trolls raising chaos, and of families torn apart -- only to be brought back together by festive cheer.
In this collection, classic tales from Hans Christian Andersen and Nobel Prize winner Selma Lagerlof blend with modern day stories from Karl Ove Knausgaard and Vigdis Hjorth. Each touch on the warm and wild spirit of Christmas, where the cosiness and contentment of the season can often give way to the unexpected, magical and sometimes mystical.
A smorgasbord of strange literary gifts, let A Scandinavian Christmas transport you to a winter wonderland in which fantasy, the fantastic and the festive combine for your reading delight.
