The Icelandic Yule Lads: Everything You Wanted to Know About the Jólasveinar and More!

Icelandic folklorist, librarian, and teacher, Þórdís Edda Guðjónsdóttir discusses the Icelandic Yule Lads with Natalie starting with their origins in old Icelandic folklore, their terrifying reputation hundreds of years ago, and their transformation into happy, jolly, generous creatures we know today. We discuss each Yule Lad in turn (all 13!) from what their names mean, to which night they arrive on, and which day they go home. Even if you know about these quirky lads, you´ll probably learn something new.
