## Description

**A Magical Christmas Story**

Once upon a time there was a little Christmas elf called Small One because he did all the 'small' jobs in Christmas Land - measuring the snowflakes, testing the spinning tops and counting the reindeer's legs. He had one wish in life, to have a 'proper' name.
Small One had a friend, a penguin, called Lonesome. In trying to help Lonesome to return from the North Pole (where he had arrived by mistake) back to his home in the South Pole, the friends have wonderful adventures.
These adventures not only get them grateful thanks from Santa Claus but, best of all Small One get an important new name.
