This most delightful of fairytales is full of kindness. The elves help the shoemaker and his wife when things aren't going well for them, and then they in turn help the elves by making them new clothes. This special book has flaps and laser-cut tracery which gives tantalising glimpses of the pages beyond as the story unfolds.
Growing up on the Wirral and in Germany, Anna wrote plays about talking animals, and stories about naughty children, and drew on every available surface. After school, she did an Art Foundation course, then a degree in German Literature and Philosophy at Oxford University. In 1998 she found her perfect job at Usborne in London, writing about everything from curious penguins to trips to the Moon.
