A Troll for Christmas

Anna-Lena complained to Santa that she didn't get what she wanted for her birthday. Her letter was found by the elves who had their own problem: Kalle, a displaced Swedish troll who was nothing but trouble. The elves send Kalle to Anna-Lena with dire results for the whole family. Other stories include "David's Tree" about a Jewish boy who wants a Christmas tree, recollections of past Christmases about Belinda's eyeglasses, and Cynthia's doll, Baby Suzy, who really was sent to "Santa" to be repaired. Included are new versions of fairy tales seen in a modern perspective.
