About this title

Synopsis

Nickolai is the last true elf left in the world, rescued from the fate of his people by Comet, a flying reindeer. Brought up by human parents in the distant north, Nickolai knows that there's something different about him. Teased and bullied because of his pointed ears, he seeks solace with the reindeer in the enchanted forest. But when Magda starts to steal children's youth in order to regain her own beauty, Nick must travel north to foil her evil plans ...

About the Author

Lucy started writing as soon as she could hold a pen and has never stopped. She wrote her first play at eight: a nativity play told from the point of view of the donkey, which was performed for many years at her nursery school. After university she worked in advertising, journalism and TV. She had the idea for Nickolai of the North whilst talking to her daughter about who filled Santa's stocking when he was little. She wrote much of the book in midsummer, sitting in her garden, conjuring up the snow and ice of winter.
