Little Piccola

Little Piccola is a short Christmas story about a poor Italian girl living alone with her hardworking mother in an old stone house. When American children move next door and tell Piccola about Santa Claus and Christmas stockings, she is enchanted — until Christmas Eve arrives and she realises she owns no stockings at all. With tears on her cheeks and only a wooden shoe to leave by the chimney, she hopes Santa will understand. What she finds inside it the next morning is small, living, and entirely unexpected.

How The Fir Tree Became The Christmas Tree

"How the Fir Tree Became the Christmas Tree" tells the origin of one of Christmas's most beloved traditions. On the night of Christ's birth, a humble fir tree watches as the proud Palm and Olive offer their gifts, while the Fir is mocked for its prickly needles and sticky sap. Feeling worthless, the Fir accepts its fate quietly — until a compassionate Christmas Angel notices its meekness and calls down the stars themselves to rest upon its branches, bathing the sleeping Christ Child in radiant light.

The Goblins’ Christmas

"The Goblins' Christmas" is a lively Christmas poem in which mischievous goblins, elves, witches, and sprites riot through the night sky on Christmas Eve — upsetting stars, breaking Orion's sword, and drinking witches' broth under a sneering moon. When Kris Kringle appears with his sleigh, a hundred goblins clamber aboard to bind him hand and foot. But Kris is no ordinary traveller — he raises his mystic wand, and the cackling horde falls suddenly, stiffly silent, transformed into toys for children rich, poor, and forgotten.

Manoel Littlebean

Manoel Littlebean is a thumb-sized boy whose miniature stature causes his mother constant worry — she fears she may have stepped on him or swallowed him without knowing. When Manoel is accidentally eaten by the family goat, then by a wolf, he ends up bouncing around inside both animals until he lands in a cave full of stolen gold. With quick thinking and determination, the tiny boy must find his way home to lead his father back to the treasure before the robbers return.

The Princess Who Lost Her Rings

"The Princess Who Lost Her Rings" follows a princess whose precious collection of jeweled rings vanishes one by one — stolen, she suspects, by the charming white rabbit she lets visit her balcony each day. Heartbroken when her box is finally empty, she withdraws from the world until two lame old storytellers stumble upon a strange secret in the forest: a footless donkey, a bubbling kettle, and a white rabbit who sheds his skin to reveal a handsome enchanted prince longing to meet the rings' true owner.
