In midnight visits clothed in mystery, a pair of elves restore a poor shoemaker to prosperity. Here is the classic tale of elfin magic that generations of children have loved, made new by an artist of international acclaim. Jim LaMarche's stunning paintings, reminiscent of his earlier work in 'The Rainbabies', tell a tale not only of midnight enchantment, but of generosity and virtue rewarded.
Jim LaMarche has loved the story of 'The Elves And The Shoemaker' since he was a child himself, and has always wanted to illustrate it. At first he thought his pictures might take on a contemporary setting, but in the end he "wasn't prepared to paint elves making sneakers in Santa Rosa". So much the better for us, for here is the classic story in its classic setting, made new by this extraordinarily gifted artist.
