The Yule Cat: A Seasonal Makeover offers a playful take on one of Iceland’s most memorable holiday legends. In Icelandic folklore, the Yule Cat (Jólakötturinn) is said to prowl during Christmas, seeking out anyone who hasn’t received new clothes for the season. In this spirited retelling, artist and storyteller Brian Pilkington brings the legendary cat to life with expressive, richly detailed illustrations and a humorous narrative voice.
Pilkington’s artwork is well known for capturing the imagination and character of Icelandic mythic figures, and here he gives the Yule Cat a distinctive personality—both imposing and quirky. The result is a story that appeals to children and adults alike, blending folklore, humor, and holiday warmth.
Perfect for families, folklore enthusiasts, and collectors of Nordic and holiday-themed illustrated books.
