Christmas is coming and children everywhere dream of candy and a jolly man in red clothes bringing presents. Well, almost everywhere. In Iceland, a snow-covered island close to the North Pole, no less than thirteen Christmas trolls bring gifts to well behaved youngsters every year. The thirteen trolls of Christmas are centuries old and live with their parents, two of the most hideous ogres of Iceland, Gryla and Leppaludi, and the family cat, a monstrous black animal, in a mountain cave. Formerly known as mischievous scoundrels, the trolls have now amended their ways and delight in surprising the children with presents in their shoe in the days before Christmas. With spectacular illustrations, this magical story of the thirteen trolls of Christmas makes a wonderful read for the whole family.
