The poems tell the story of the fanciful and sometimes fearsome tales a father tells his daughter during a Christmas visit to the ancestral home in southern Sweden. Long ago, images of ancestors, beings, guides, saints, and gods were painted on the ceilings and walls of Swedish homes. The father’s stories quicken the ceiling’s paintings, braiding saga, saint, and myth and, like Christmas, evoking ancestors, guides, saints, and gods.
