Every 24 December, Icelanders give each other books. Then unwrap them with a tasty cup of hot chocolate. The tradition is known as Jólabókaflóð (Jolabokaflod) or 'Christmas book flood'.
One Icelandic proverb says, “it's better to be without shoes than be without a book” and I could not agree more.
It makes books feel extra-special when they're wrapped up as a present and given with love. And the Christmas holidays are the perfect time to snuggle in and enjoy new books.
The bestselling Operation Series from Helen C. Escott, published by Flanker Press, has been optioned by Rink Rat Productions for film and television.
