Gather round for tales of the nisse, the helpful farmstead spirit who lived in the stable and lent a hand with the farm work, bringing good fortune to the holding. In the farming communities he was known as the Gårdboen, and he could be a great help to the farmer all year round, though he could also cause mischief if not treated with respect.
This Christmas, the stories explore his ways and how he both helped and punished the farmer, before he became the Father Christmas we know today, who can be both kind and playful. Perhaps you have a nisse at home?
