   Additional Information  
 
  Santa's elves eliminate a troublesome troll and get even for a little girl's rude letter in "Anna-Lena's Christmas Troll," the first tale in this delightful anthology. In "David's Tree," a young Jewish boy teaches his parents that enjoying one culture's tradition doesn't always mean losing one's own. "Getting the Tree" turns out to be more than one family bargains for, and in "Baby Suzy" a child's beloved doll is resurrected by a most unusual group of elves. The second half of the book includes new versions of "Hansel and Gretel," "Goldilocks" and "Rumplestilskin" that, along with several others, may never be the same again.

This entertaining, enlightening and sometimes inspiring collection of holiday stories and updated, tongue-in-cheek fairy tales is certain to delight children and adults alike.
