https://armannr.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/10/Vinjeets-XVII.jpg484697A few of the stories in Vignettes XVII have a national flavour while others come from contemporary daily life. The thirteen Yule Lads marry Yule Women while elves, trolls and hidden people creep into a few vignettes here and there. There are stories connected to South-Eastern Iceland, but also to Skagafjörður and Tröllaskagi where we find the home of the Yule Lads and their Yule Women. Portrait stories can also be found of interesting contemporary people who Ármann Reynisson has met on life’s journey. They are a varied group of people who carry out both practical and spiritual jobs and make their mark on their occupations and Icelandic society. All brought beautifully together with the unique style of the author who is both concise yet poetic, realistic and inspirational. The vignettes are ideal for reading aloud at many an occasion.
