Inside an old abandoned shoe box factory on the outer rim of a great metropolis, lies the magic Kingdom of True Believers in Imagination. Each Christmas, the Box Keepers, Crones, the Others, the elves, trolls and the many who live in the kingdom, gather in the great hall in the Crones' castle to celebrate Christmas and to listen to the year's new Christmas stories. This year, there are six new stories and an adventure leading the Crones, Box Keepers and the Others on a merry chase to Folgoth Woods to retrieve a rare Christmas gift. In "The Small and Rancid Wizard who Knew Odor was in the Nose of the Smeller", a small wizard endures a hot time in a forgotten desert with noisy company. In "The Crabby, Baffling, Hermit Boy and the Arcane Alchemist's Box", a boy receives an unusual companion for a Christmas gift. A gorgeous blue magic box arrives just in time in "The Tolling Midnight Bells that Chimed Christmas". In "The Rose Paper Magic Box with Warm, Red Courage", a lost legacy is found and reclaimed. A vagabond band of brave little beings make a long and perilous journey to find a new home in "The Smile so Snug in an Old Magic Box". In "The Box and the Beautiful Green Bottle", a lifelong love filled with magic is celebrated. Text and Illustrations by the author with A.B.
