Book Synopsis The Yule Lads by : Brian Pilkington
Book excerpt: Inspired by the book of verses by Jóhannes úr Kötlum, Yuletide is coming, that tells the story of Grýla and her children, the 13 Yule lads: Stekkjarstaur, Giljagaur, Stúfur, Þvörusleikir, Pottasleikir, Askasleikir, Hurðaskellir, Skyrgámur, Bjúgnakrækir, Gluggagægir, Gáttaþefur, Ketkrókur, and Kertasníkir. Each of the Yule lads sets off from the family home in the Highlands and travels on foot over the mountains, making their individual appearances one after the other, on the thirteen nights before Christmas.
