Yes that was a fan girl squee! But then again, since this is a Goblin's bookshelf it should be clear that it would be fun to find some fun stories about Goblins.
The Goblins' Christmas
M.E. Anderson
12 pages
With a copyright date of 1908, I was a bit skeptical about reading this story. But I remembered that some of my favorite stories are old. At this time, you might not know that, but as time goes on you'll come to see it.
What we have here is a story told in lyrical verse. It rhymes and would likely be enjoyed by children. Though the story seems odd. "Santa" is turning goblins and fairies into toys.
Most of the 12 pages of this file have turned out to be nothing more than the Project Gutenberg TOS. I really wish that the illustrations had been included. Descriptions of them are included, but they aren't very descriptive, and they don't give a good taste of the art.
It is very nice to have found a Christmas story that had goblins in it, even if they did end up turned into toys.
