Description
It's Christmas Eve, but there is little cheer and no holiday feast for the sons of a poor cobbler.Then a strange little man comes knocking. Could he be the legendary goblin king, who brings magic to one hut every year? This traditional Tyrolean folktale is now reillustrated by Caldecott Medal-winning artist Barbara Cooney. Evocative, richly detailed illustrations make this a book to share throughout the holiday season and savor all year long. "Cooney's familiar folk-art illustrations are the perfect complement to this story." -- School Library Journal
