At the Elves’ Workshop

Written by International Elf Service

Narrated by Janet Fullerlove

It’s December 1st and the most exciting Christmas countdown has begun! George and Matilda are visiting Granny for a festive treat of hot chocolate and marshmallows – a favourite family tradition under the twinkling Christmas Tree when they open the first door on their Advent Calendar. But things don’t quite go according to plan … just as they snuggle on the sofa together under a cosy blanket with a slice of warm gingerbread each, a great big whooshing sound comes out of the fireplace and the air is suddenly filled with funny-looking envelopes, magical sparkles and a delicious smell of cinnamon! A bundle of extra-special and beautifully illustrated letters from the North Pole Elves has arrived via the Magical Wind Machine of International Elf Service.

Bursting with excitement, they read them aloud, one by one, hearing incredible stories from Elfie and friends, as well as Father and Mother Christmas, as they all prepare for The Big Delivery on Christmas Eve.

Every letter is jam-packed with the latest secrets from the North Pole - a hilarious adventure full of crazy inventions and pranks, muddles and mishaps, LOTS of candy and some very important Emergency Pyjama Meetings, all wrapped up with a huge amount of Christmas Magic. 

Young listeners will be completely captivated by the daily updates from Elfie (North Pole Scribe) as well as some wacky and wonderful news from the other Elves – Marty (Inventions Elf), Jenny (North Pole Gardener), Lily (Chief Organising Elf), Dani (Repairs Elf), Stan (Chief Mining Elf), Dave the Stitch (Uniform Upgrades Elf) and Bubbles (Laundry Elf).

This year, they discover that Father Christmas has organised a Magical Winter Sports Day (complete with magical prizes), Marty has the dreaded North Pole Pox (or does he?), Dani tries to fix an urgent problem with The Sleigh’s Compass, and some very unusual Glittery Shimmers appear in the Cinnamon Mine. It’s definitely going to be the best Christmas ever!

Oh - we’ve had these actual letters!! Our kids absolutely LOVED receiving them and to hear this as an audiobook now is amazing. International Elf Service letters are stunning and SO magical!! This book is just wonderful and I could listen to the narrator’s voice for hours - which is a relief when your kids want to listen to this on loop!
