It’s Kuggur’s birthday! Malfridur and her mother give him an unusual birthday gift – a trip into town on the national holiday, which also happens to be his birthday! There he meets the President as well as a statue by the name of Jon. Can statues have birthdays? Sigrun Eldjarn’s stories about Kuggur and the lively Malfridur and her mother have entertained Icelandic bookworms for thirty years, always taking readers by surprise.
