About this ebook
Punishments for elven crimes vary. So, when Rolf finds himself serving time as a toy on a mantel during the Christmas season, Rolf figures he got off easy.
But when a lonely child asks him to deliver a message to Santa, he realizes his rehabilitation comes with a price—one he might not be prepared to pay.
The masterful Kristine Kathryn Rusch puts her trademark twist on this heart-warming Christmas tale.
"Rusch's short fiction is golden."
—The Kansas City Star
