About this book
Elizabeth Anderson's enchanting poetry collection, The Goblins' Christmas, transports listeners to a magical realm where mischievous creatures celebrate the most wonderful time of year. This timeless fantasy tale follows the playful inhabitants of Goblin town—small, roguish beings who love pranks and merrymaking—as they encounter the legendary Kris Kringle on Christmas Eve.
When the goblins and fairy folk attempt to outwit the mysterious visitor, they discover he is far more than he appears. Through his extraordinary magic, Kris Kringle transforms these spirited little people into the most beautiful toys imaginable: jumping jacks, elaborately dressed dolls, soft rabbits, and adorable teddy bears. As his sleigh fills with these magical treasures, Kris sets off on his legendary journey across the night sky.
Originally published in 1908 and illustrated by Alexander Sharp, this whimsical fiction narrative blends poetic language with imaginative storytelling. Anderson's preface reveals the deeper mythology of her fairy world—a place where good nature matters, where anger has consequences, and where wisdom opens doors to the unseen realms.
Perfect for holiday listeners seeking literary charm and family-friendly wonder, The Goblins' Christmas offers a unique vintage perspective on Christmas magic and the transformative power of kindness. Whether you're revisiting cherished childhood tales or discovering classic holiday fiction for the first time, this audiobook delivers timeless enchantment.
