Red Lion Books 2018 Jolabokaflodid

BOOKSELLER COMMENT: We will always have a soft spot in our hearts for The Little Snake as it was our first Jolabokaflodid book when we started the tradition in 2018. For both Red Lion Books Staff and Customers alike, it is still a firm favourite for many of us. 

This is the story of Mary, a young girl born in a beautiful city full of rose gardens and fluttering kites. When she is still very small, Mary meets Lanmo, a shining golden snake, who becomes her very best friend. The snake visits Mary many times, he sees her grow and her city change, as bombs drop and war creeps in.

Lanmo wonders, can having a friend possibly be worth the pain of knowing you will lose them?
