The Elves and the Shoemaker — A Grimm Tale Told by Candlelight

A poor shoemaker has leather enough for one last pair of shoes. He goes to bed with nothing and wakes to find the work finished by hands he has never seen. This is the old Brothers Grimm tale of The Elves and the Shoemaker, told slowly, as if read aloud from an ancient storybook by candlelight — a story of quiet midnights, unpaid kindness, and a gift that ends the giving. Settle in, let the fire sink low, and watch the page turn. New tales from Grimm, Andersen and Perrault are read here every week.
