Are you aware that ghostly toys haunt the dark corridors beneath Santa's village? How about the origins of toy-making elves-do they really come from drops of sugar that are baked to perfection? You'll find these things out and more in The Blimperwhirls, a zany and sometimes scary Christmas story, where Santa suddenly thinks that his magical ways of doing things have become outdated. But look out! In Santa's attempts to change the North Pole, big trouble comes his way, including bubble ships that drop paper package bombs, and a mischievous candy cane-hunting, self-doubting toy that hasn't been seen in ten thousand years: the Imp of Christmas Doubt.
