Amity The Shoemaker and the Elves

‘The Shoemaker and the Elves’ was originally written in German by Jakob Ludwig Grimm and Wilhelm Karl Grimm, the authors of all-time favourites like ‘Cinderella’, ‘Snow White’ and ‘Hansel and Gretel’. This story has been around for more than a hundred years and still has the power to hold a reader spellbound. It is a heart-warming tale about a kind but extremely poor shoemaker and his wife who are helped by two elves and how they in turn show their gratitude to the tiny benefactors. The story reiterates the importance of positive values like goodness, kindness and generosity.
