To Gunnuf it seems there should be a Grandma in every home-especially at Christmastime.
He remembers his own dear grandmother, listening to her stories, playing games, and many other kindnesses.
He brings her kindling, fish to eat, and splits wood for her fire, knowing she needs a little extra help.
With Christmas approaching, young Gunnuf Roland is worried about his elderly neighbor, Fru Solem.
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 the wonderful, unhurried charm of the 19th century, the Roland family celebrates Christmas on their farm in the Norwegian mountains.
A Grandma for Christmas is an enchanting story of Christmas in a far-off corner of the world.
