Cambria, a well-heeled, high-maintenance customer, asks Alice the bookseller for a holiday gift recommendation. When no answer will satisfy, Alice seeks the advice of Ms. Snaggle. Alice leads Cambria through labyrinthine back passages to the office, or perhaps, lair of Ms. Snaggle, an eccentric storyteller who lives in the bookstore basement. Snaggle’s three holiday stories are in turns sardonic, absurd and rhyming!

The stories: 

• The Tale of the KrimbyBeast 
• The Tale of Lord Kringlejaws 
• The Tale of Krunk Kringle.
