The air was full of good smells of \u003c\/i\u003e\u003ci\u003espices and jam and hot cocoa. No one was expecting any presents, but there would be \u003c\/i\u003e\u003ci\u003eleaf bread, and cookies, and Grandmother's embroidered tablecloth, and they would \u003c\/i\u003e\u003ci\u003eall do what they could to make the Yuletide bright.\u003c\/i\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003ePicking his way home across the lava field, Tomas knows that this Christmas won't be quite the same - not without his Grandfather. But as the war draws closer, Tomas devises a plan to ensure his Grandfather's stories will still be at the heart of his family's Christmas - even if it means being braver than a boy ever dreamed he could be. Donning his grandfather's jumper for courage, working hard at chores for neighbours, he takes his hard-earned pennies to shop for presents - only to find all the shops empty of stock. This is war time and rationing. There is just one shop still open - a bookshop.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eInspired by the Icelandic tradition of Jolabokaflod, where books are given as gifts on Christmas Eve.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePublished October 13, 2026\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Nice Stack Of Books","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45231224193224,"sku":null,"price":19.99,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0595\/5567\/6360\/files\/TheCHristmasBook.jpg?v=1791855869","url":"https:\/\/nicestackofbooks.myshopify.com\/products\/the-christmas-book-katherine-woodfine-lizzy-stewart","provider":"Nice Stack Of Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
