Nickolai is an elf, sole survivor of the wicked Magda's onslaught on the magical elf kingdom. Nick carries with him the only remaining Light Fairy in the world, his constant companion Elvina.
Brought up by a human couple in the distant north, Nickolai knows that there is something different about him. Little does he realise that he was not born to humans, but rescued from the evil Magda by flying reindeer. And Magda continues to construct her evil empire, the city of Doransk. But when she starts to steal children's youth in order to regain her own beauty, Nick and Elvina must travel north, with the help of their friends, to foil her plans ...
And so at the end of the book, Nickolai makes a pledge to return once every year at the time of winter solstice, to give presents to the world.
Kids will love this hilarious fairy tale adventure packed with clever twists, familiar characters and page-turning fun.

Lucy started writing as soon as she could hold a pen and has never stopped. She had the idea for Nickolai whilst talking to her daughter about who filled Santa's stocking when he was little. She wrote much of the book in midsummer, conjuring up the snow and ice of winter.
