With the wonderful, unhurried charm of 19th century Norway, the Roland family celebrates Christmas on their farm. The hustle and bustle of preparation, days spent in the bakehouse making bread and festive holiday cakes, gifts fashioned in secret by loving hands?though the Rolands celebrate differently, their Christmas spirit is the same as ours today. With Christmas approaching, young Gunnuf Roland is worried about his elderly neighbor, Fru Solem. He brings her kindling, fish to eat, and splits wood for her fire, knowing she needs a little extra help. He remembers his own dear grandmother, listening to her stories, playing games, and many other kindnesses. To Gunnuf it seems there should be a grandma in every home?especially at Christmastime. A clean very presentable copy in a Brodart mylar jacket. Seller Inventory # 016844
