[Marley · Rating 5 out of 5]

This is a great little book. A fun Christmas story for kids that stands alone, and an allegory for adults about all the crap that's wrong with country today and how to fix it. Ppower. Power to the people!

The North Pole had been taken over by a corrupt Kobold who was originally hired to help Santa and Krampus with making toys and getting them delivered.

Santa has been drugged and taken prisoner while Krampus has been driven into exile. Since the Kobokd took over he has corpratized the North Pole. Making elves work for slave wages and destroying forests to build more factories. Fewer and fewer children are getting gifts and Krampus has been given a bad rap.

From his place in exile, Krampus sends a series of letters to the young Anne peregrine . On December 5 of every year for 10 years straight. In all he asks for her to believe and in every year he tells her about the fight against Corvus the Kobold .

The letters tell how he befriends snow cats, wolves and bats to fight against Cirvus. He tells how he destroys a factory and how he enlists the elves to go against Corvus z he tells about spy attempts and how he rescues Santa. The final battle takes place in a gorge.

Seems like a nice book for children or young teen agers . Not classical material but good light entertaining g reading. Nice to hear that people are recognizing Krampus, even if they have despooked him .

A delightful book for slightly older children where the nature-loving Krampus gets to be the hero who saves Christmas. An interesting addition to any Krampus collection, as it gives a very different view of the creature known as Krampus...loves animals and being outside, huge appetite, bit clumsy, and gets his special brand of magic from children's kind thoughts and belief in him. A kinder, gentler Krampus to join the parade.
