Today, as in mainland Scandinavia, most Icelanders (around 80%) belong to the Protest-
ant Lutheran Church - but many are nonpractising. Church attendance is very low.
The Little Book of the Icelanders
, by Alda Sigmundsdóttir, is a wonderful collection of 50
miniature essays on the 'quirks and foibles' of the Icelandic people, written by an insightful
Icelander who returned to live in the country after 22 years abroad.
