By the Chimney, With Care

Punishments for elven crimes vary. So, when Rolf finds himself serving time as a toy on a mantel during the Christmas season, Rolf figures he got off easy. But when a lonely child asks him to deliver a message to Santa, he realizes his rehabilitation comes with a price—one he might not be prepared to pay.

The masterful Kristine Kathryn Rusch puts her trademark twist on this heart-warming Christmas tale.

“Rusch’s short fiction is golden.”
