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

The remarkable Christmas of the cobbler's sons
Author the wonderful Roller Skates and illustrator of Miss Rumphius, it's gotta be magical, right? Well, yes, sort of. I do wish there were a note to indicate whether it is a traditional tale or not - apparently King Laurin and the prefatory tale of alpenglow are traditional but I didn't research further. I can't decide how much I like it, but since it's funny and Christmasy and I've never encountered it before, I'll round up.
Recommended especially if you like Christmas stories that feature neither Santa nor Jesus, or if you have any particular interest in South Tirol or the Dolomites of the Italian Alps.
