Who wanders around human dwellings in the darkest time of winter, when Yule is celebrated?
The monstrous Yule Cat, checking up on how prepared humans are for the long winter. He can either bring a wonderful reward for those who provided for themselves well or merciless punishment for the lazy ones.
His owner is the troll giantess Gryla, who lives in the mountains and whose voice is carried for miles and miles by the icy wind. Meet also the other trolls of the mountains, the skessas that inhabit the dark caves, tomtes who watch over human dwellings, and the elusive Fairy Folk.
Follow the heroes of this book through their trials and adventures as they meet the mystical characters of Icelandic folklore.
