About the Book: Christmas Book
Inspired by an Icelandic book-gifting tradition, this beautiful story,
illustrated with full colour artwork throughout, and decorated endpapers, is the
perfect gift for sharing during the Christmas period. It was Christmas Eve in
the little farmhouse. The air was full of good smells of spices and jam and hot
cocoa. No one was expecting any presents, but there would be leaf bread, and
cookies, and Grandmothers embroidered tablecloth, and they would all do what
they could to make the Yuletide bright. Picking his way home across the lava
field, Tómas knows that this Christmas wont be quite the same-not without his
Grandfather.
