// music boxes // artist : Margrét Guðnadóttir //

Made of wicker or papier-mâché topped with miniature figures, Margrét Guðnadóttir's music boxes deliver Icelandic folk songs that are as enchanting to the ears as they are effective in putting children to sleep.

One of these tunes is the Christmas song Það á að gefa börnum brauð , lyrics and music in a 1971 version.
