One of our favorite parts of Scandinavian life is hygge--a word that

loosely means “cozy.” It’s that happy feeling when life is good, when you are

relaxing at home or sharing the togetherness of the holidays. For our

catalog we’ve collected some of the things that Scandinavians associate with hygge:

Christmas, candlelight, nature, books, favorite foods and beverages,

textiles and wood.

We hope you’ll find something to be part of your hygge.

Nisser (in Norway & Denmark), Tomtar (in Sweden) or Tonttu (in Finnish) are the elves of folklore that Scandinavians have loved for

generations. You’ll usually see them with their friends, the household cats. Your elf will bring your family good fortune in the coming year if you remember him with a

Christmas Eve treat!

NORSE MYTHOLOGYBy Neil GaimanGaiman stays true to the myths in envisioning the major Norse pantheon: Odin, the highest of the high, wise, daring, and cunning; Thor, Odin’s son, incredibly strong yet not the wisest of gods; and Loki—son of a giant—blood brother to Odin and a trickster and manipulator. Through Gaiman’s deft and witty prose these gods emerge with their fiercely competitive natures, their susceptibility to being duped and to duping others, and their tendency to let passion ignite their actions--making these ancient myths breathe life again.7274. $25.95

THE NORDIC THEORY OF EVERYTHINGBy Anu PartanenPartanen compares and contrasts life in the United States with life in the Nordic region, focusing on four key relationships—parents and children, men and women, employees and employers, and government and citizens. She debunks criticism that Nordic countries are socialist “nanny states,” revealing instead that it is we Americans who are far more enmeshed in unhealthy dependencies than we realize. As Partanen explains step by step, the Nordic approach allows citizens to enjoy more individual freedom and independence than we do.7283. $25.95
