Publisher's Synopsis
Gammelnok left his village in northern Norway after it was completely destroyed by marauding Norsemen, who also murdered all the villagers including Gammelnok's family.
He then spent many years with the Sami people at the top of the world migrating with the seasons before getting kidnapped by the helpers of the bearded giant, who later was renamed Santa Claus.
Gammelnok is now ready to move on. He spotted a nice secluded spot one year when flying with the sleigh over Great Britain. While trying to reach his garden pond where he intends to spend his last years, the sleigh and reindeers are thrown off course, caused by a strong jet stream.
Gammelnok is thrown out of the sleigh and ends up in a Christmas Cave in a Dutch town. He is then imprisoned for shoplifting, escapes to Denmark by Tulip lorry, then crosses the Channel curtesy of a smuggler, shipwrecked and then rescued by a Spanish freighter crew.
He finally arrives in Andalusia, only to be left behind after missing the freighter leaving Cadiz without him.
He now faces a long journey from Seville to Granada and eventually to England in Santa's sleigh where he will spend his retirement by his selected garden pond.
