Christmas is the time of wishes and dreams - and it's fairy tale time! The most beautiful Christmas fairy tales are gathered in this volume. They tell the story of how winter came to be, of the little fir tree that longed to be a Christmas tree, and of the snowman who fell in love with a stove. They take us into the realm of the elf queen Hildur and into the bakery of the Christ Child, depicting the struggles of Saint Nicholas and how the wooden Joseph came to life.
