|  | | A Troll for Christmas and other stories
Anna-Lena got her comeuppance for sending a letter of complaint to Santa when his elves decided to send her Kalle, a nasty, displaced Swedish troll, to teach her a lesson. Other stories are about her sister Belinda's eyeglasses, Cynthia's doll Suzy, and retold fairy tales.
This book is divided into two parts: family stories and retold fairy tales. A Troll for Christmas was originally broadcast on WMPL radio. Trolls represent the dark side of human nature, and having a troll in the house causes havoc, which is what Anna-Lena finds out when Santa's elves get rid of their pest, Kalle, and send him to Michigan. In other stories we learn what really happened to Rumplestilskin after the miller's daughter revealed his name. (He changed it to Smith), and how did the wolf escape death when his obsession with chocolate chip cookies got him into trouble? How did Jack stop | |  | | Ben Zakkai's Coffin
