This version of the familiar fairy tale "The Elves and the Shoemaker" dates from 1918. In the story, a poor cobbler gets help making shoes from an unlikely source: two fairies or brownies (house spirits).
"The Elves and The Shoemaker" is a set of fairy tales collected by the Brothers Grimm about a poor shoemaker who receives much-needed help from three young helpful elves.
Amazon has a lovely leather-bound version of all of the Brothers Grimm fairy tales, if you want a Kindle version try this one. If you prefer the Book Depository, they have a complete set of the Brothers Grimm fairy tales too.
