"As the shoemaker and his wife watched from the cupboard, the two little elves skipped over to the worktable."

"The Brothers Grimm bring to life two benevolent elves who secretly toil at night to help an honest shoemaker through hard times. Even after the elves have pranced and danced their way out of the workshop, their magic remains to help the shoemaker and his wife on to a richer and more comfortable life. Barbara Roman's handsome illustrations of this frolicsome fairy tale make The Shoemaker and the Elves a book to be cherished." - Andrews and McMeel

"Early the next morning the shoemaker went down to his shop. There to his amazement, was a pair finished shoes on the worktable."

"The two little elves danced all over the shop. They even danced on the cupboard where the shoemaker and his wife were hiding."
