A classic holiday tale with warm and whimsical illustrations Originally written by French author Reuben Saillens and later retold by Leo Tolstoy, this endearing story has now acquired the status of a folk-tale. The heart-warming story of lonely shoemaker Papa Panov's generosity reflects the true spirit of Christmas. In this edition, Mig Holder's much loved text is complemented by charming illustrations capturing the changing mood of the story.
