Did you know that the tradition of April Fools' Day dates back to the 17th century? Or why Swedes dance around a flower-decorated maypole on Midsummer Eve (Midsommarafton)?

He guides the reader through both old and new customs. Some are considered typically Swedish, such as St Lucia's Day, Midsommar and crayfish parties. The book also devotes plenty of space to traditions that have become part of Swedish culture more recently.

The book also includes several recipes for classic Swedish dishes and treats.

It is full of interesting and entertaining historical facts and anecdotes and is richly illustrated with hundreds of illustrations and photographs.
