+Preface
+
+
+Once upon a time I visited Fairy-land and spent a day in Goblin-town.
+The people there are much like ourselves, only they are very, very small
+and roguish. They play pranks on one another and have great fun. They
+are good natured and jolly, and rarely get angry. But if one does get
+angry, he quickly recovers his good nature and joins again in the sport.
+
+If a Goblin should continue angry he would take on some visible form.
+Perhaps he would become a toad or a squirrel, or some other little
+animal, and would have to live here on the Earth-plane forevermore. But,
+if he keeps good natured, he can come here and have his fun, and not be
+seen by any one except a Seer, or very wise person.
+
+The Goblins are gracious to the wise people now, but they were not
+always so. A long, long time ago, on a Christmas-eve, the Fairy-folk
+were having great sport. All the little people of the Unseen-world had
+gathered together in the Earth-realm. There were Brownies, and Gnomes,
+and Elves; even some little Cherubs had joined them. They were having a
+wild dance and a gay time when who should appear but Kris Kringle! Now
+the Fairies did not know that he was a Magician, or Seer, and so they
+tried to make sport of him. But Kris by his wonderful magic, changed
+them into the most beautiful toys. They became straight little
+jumping-jacks, and dolls in bright dresses, and the dearest little
+rabbit with white, soft fur. And somewhere in the bottom of the sleigh
+one was turned into a cute little Teddy-bear. Then old Kris tucked all
+these toys into his roomy sleigh, and shook the reins of his waiting
+steed. "Go on!" he said, "For I've many, many a chimney to reach
+tonight."
+
+Now this is the tale of "The Goblins' Christmas" that the moonbeams
+told, as they heard it from the Fairy-Queen, who declares that every
+word of it is perfectly true.

+The GOBLINS' CHRISTMAS
+
+
+    The big bright Moon hung high and round,
+        In a densely darkened sky;
+    The tall pines swayed, and mocked, and groaned;
+        The mountains grew so high
+    That the Man-in-the-Moon came out and said,
+        "Ho! Spooks, for a merry dance."
+    The winds blow hard, the caverns roar,
+        While o'er the earth they prance.
+
+[Illustration]
+
+
+
+[Illustration]
+
+    A Witch and a Goblin led the sprites;
+        Out from the sky they sprung;
+    And down the milky way they slid,
+        And over a chasm swung.
+    The streams around ran witches' broth,
+        The fumes were strong and rank.
+    These Elfin creatures all were wroth,
+        While of the stuff they drank.

+
+    The cunning Moon looked on and laughed
+        With a shrill and sneering jibe;
+    Her soul grew fat to see them chaffed,
+        This mad and elfish tribe.
+    The big black caldron boiled so high
+        With food for these queer mites,
+    That it lit the world throughout the sky,
+        And down came all the Sprites.

+
+    Their mad career upset a star,
+        As through the air they flew:
+    It cringed in fear, and shot afar,
+        And fell where no one knew.
+    Orion's sword was broke in bits,
+        Corona's crown was gone,
+    Capella seemed to lose her wits,
+        While all so longed for dawn.
+
+[Illustration]
+
+
+
+[Illustration]
+
+    Then from the night there came a sound
+        Of sleigh-bells ringing sweet;
+    Out of the chaos came a man--
+        Kris Kringle--for his Christmas treat.
+    "Ho! Kris!" they cried, "We'll have some fun,
+        We'll bind the old man down,
+    We'll tie him up, and toss him o'er
+        Into our Goblin-town."
+
+[Illustration]
+
+
+
+[Illustration: As through the air they flew]
+
+
+
+[Illustration]
+
+    They climbed the sleigh with shout and din,
+        To bind his hands and feet;
+    A hundred strong they clambered in
+        Our good old Kris to meet.
+    He sat quite still, with twinkling eyes,
+        Then seized his mystic wand,
+    He raised it up, and waved it round
+        Stilled was this chattering band.

+
+    Stiffly stark and still they stood,
+        Clad in elfish clothes;
+    Some were wax, and some were wood,
+        One had crushed his nose.
+    "Playthings rare," he said and smiled,
+        "For children rich and poor;
+    Some I'll leave the crippled child,
+        And some at the orphan's door."
+
+[Illustration]
+
+
+
+[Illustration]
+
+    He shook his reins, and called his steed
+        To bear him swiftly on.
+    Full well it knew its Master's need
+        To hurry e'er the dawn.
+    From house to house they scampered down,
+        Their sleigh-bells ringing clear,
+    Through chimneys in the sleepy town--
+        Good Kris and his reindeer.

+
+    The windows rattled, the moonbeams tattled
+        A tale so strange and queer.
+    They told how at night, in dire affright
+        The Moon had hid in fear.
+
+
+
+[Illustration]
+
+    That he'd called in sport his elfish court
+        Of spooks and witches gay,
+    Each Elfin child, by glee beguiled,
+        Brought scores of others, they say.
+
+    Then a man appeared, with flowing beard,
+        In a sled with a reindeer fleet;
+    They gathered about with din and shout,
+        To bind him hands and feet.
+
+
+
+[Illustration: Witch with Broom]
+
+    Then the Moon laughed loud at the gathering crowd,
+        While he held his sides in mirth,
+    To see old Kris in a plight like this,
+        Toiling o'er the earth.
+
+
+
+[Illustration: Elf and Spider]
+
+
+
+[Illustration]
+
+    But alas for the Moon, he had laughed like a loon,
+        For Kris is a hero of old,
+    Yes, Kris is a seer; with his small reindeer,
+        He captured the Goblins bold.
+
+    And he changed them, they say in a wonderful way,
+        To toys, for his Christmas cheer.
+    The big dolls stare with a goblin air,
+        The small ones cringe with fear.
+
+
+
+[Illustration]
+
+    While the moonbeams prattle, I hear a rattle
+        Of hoofs on the chimney side;
+    Then out on the snow I gaze below,
+        "Hurrah! it's Kris Kringle," I cried.
+
+    Then, sly as a mouse, he entered the house,
+        And hung up his treasures so gay.
+    Then out with a dash, he sped like a flash,
+        Into the night, and away.

+
+Section  2.  Information about the Mission of Project Gutenberg-tm
+
+Project Gutenberg-tm is synonymous with the free distribution of
+electronic works in formats readable by the widest variety of computers
+including obsolete, old, middle-aged and new computers.  It exists
+because of the efforts of hundreds of volunteers and donations from
+people in all walks of life.
+
+Volunteers and financial support to provide volunteers with the
+assistance they need, is critical to reaching Project Gutenberg-tm's
+goals and ensuring that the Project Gutenberg-tm collection will
+remain freely available for generations to come.  In 2001, the Project
+Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation was created to provide a secure
+and permanent future for Project Gutenberg-tm and future generations.
+To learn more about the Project Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation
+and how your efforts and donations can help, see Sections 3 and 4
+and the Foundation web page at http://www.pglaf.org.
+
+
+Section 3.  Information about the Project Gutenberg Literary Archive
+Foundation
+
+The Project Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation is a non profit

+Section 4.  Information about Donations to the Project Gutenberg
+Literary Archive Foundation
+
+Project Gutenberg-tm depends upon and cannot survive without wide
+spread public support and donations to carry out its mission of
+increasing the number of public domain and licensed works that can be
+freely distributed in machine readable form accessible by the widest
+array of equipment including outdated equipment.  Many small donations
+($1 to $5,000) are particularly important to maintaining tax exempt
+status with the IRS.
+
+The Foundation is committed to complying with the laws regulating
+charities and charitable donations in all 50 states of the United
+States.  Compliance requirements are not uniform and it takes a
+considerable effort, much paperwork and many fees to meet and keep up
+with these requirements.  We do not solicit donations in locations
+where we have not received written confirmation of compliance.  To
+SEND DONATIONS or determine the status of compliance for any
+particular state visit http://pglaf.org
+
+While we cannot and do not solicit contributions from states where we
+have not met the solicitation requirements, we know of no prohibition
+against accepting unsolicited donations from donors in such states who
+approach us with offers to donate.
+
+International donations are gratefully accepted, but we cannot make
+any statements concerning tax treatment of donations received from
+outside the United States.  U.S. laws alone swamp our small staff.
+
+Please check the Project Gutenberg Web pages for current donation
+methods and addresses.  Donations are accepted in a number of other
+ways including checks, online payments and credit card donations.
+To donate, please visit: http://pglaf.org/donate

+
+Section 5.  General Information About Project Gutenberg-tm electronic
+works.
+
+Professor Michael S. Hart is the originator of the Project Gutenberg-tm
+concept of a library of electronic works that could be freely shared
+with anyone.  For thirty years, he produced and distributed Project
+Gutenberg-tm eBooks with only a loose network of volunteer support.
+
+
+Project Gutenberg-tm eBooks are often created from several printed
+editions, all of which are confirmed as Public Domain in the U.S.
+unless a copyright notice is included.  Thus, we do not necessarily
+keep eBooks in compliance with any particular paper edition.
+
+
+Most people start at our Web site which has the main PG search facility:

+     http://www.gutenberg.org
+
+This Web site includes information about Project Gutenberg-tm,
+including how to make donations to the Project Gutenberg Literary
+Archive Foundation, how to help produce our new eBooks, and how to
+subscribe to our email newsletter to hear about new eBooks.
