Our Fuaimeanna na Farraige not only featured in this year’s Sunday Times best books but was luckily top of the list too (by its age factor, possibly!).. This is what they said:

In Iceland the Christmas book flood, or jolabokaflod, is a tradition celebrated on December 24. Books are exchanged between loved ones, and unwrapped and read within the cosy confines of the home, often with a sweet treat and hot drink. To inspire your family’s own Christmas Eve reading tradition, Ruth Concannon of Children’s Books Ireland enlisted the expert advice of booksellers from all over the country to recommend the best children’s books published in Ireland this year. Happy reading.
