Karin Jäger has created a lovely Advent calendar: her fairy-tales and poems are set in Advent or wintertime and convey amusement as well as thoughtfulness for the season. In this book, the reader encounters many interesting characters like the Snow Girl or the Yule Lads who deliver presents to children in other countries instead of good old Santa. But Santa and the elves certainly are part of the journey too! Also, magical creatures like the purple-crowned fairy or the dabbling puck are to be met, or animals like the magpie Harakka who come across common people creating these most entertaining stories. One for each day of December up until Christmas!
