Starts out with a Swedish folktale about witches having a feast the night before Good Friday. Not what I was wanting out of an Easter book.

**Like my reviews? Then you should follow me! Because I have hundreds more just like this one. With each review, I provide Content Considerations, mentioning any objectionable content I come across so that parents and/or conscientious readers (like me) can determine beforehand whether they want to read a book or not. Content surprises are super annoying, especially when you’re 100+ pages in, so here’s my attempt to help you avoid that!

If you’re considering a book or looking for a new title to read, check out my highly categorized shelves, read my reviews and Friend or Follow me to spiff up your feed with clean, wholesome, living books.

I have an Instagram account that’s pretty bookishly unique too!

Loved it. Especially the illustrations.

The narrative describes Tekla's emotion to celebrate Christian Easter from dancing around the Easter Fire to Eggs decorated with Bible story scenes, in contrast with the expectation of her family who is preparing for the big Feast of the Resurrection of Christ. Tekla lives in a little island off the western coast of Sweden. For Tekla, Easter means "eating lots of eggs" and celebrates with family and church. I highly recommend this book published in 1962, but describe a story of all times.
