"The well-known tale of the elves and the shoemaker specially written as a story book to share. The mischievous elves as they make beautiful shoes while nobody is looking, then leaves them in an old shoemaker's workshop. Will the shoemaker ever find out who has been helping him and what would happen if he does? A delightful story that teaches children that if they help others then they too might be rewarded. Retold in a picture book, enriched with wonderfully quirky illustrations by John Joven. "
