Beaufort Smedley

A Most Slanticulis Christmas Beaufort Smedley

Wicked old men who live in big empty houses are often just lonely and misunderstood. This is most definitely not one of those stories. Slanticulis Kawz is the meanest, crankiest, old curmudgeon that you will ever meet. What kind of person takes pride in nurturing weeds and pulling flowers? One that is only truly happy when spreading misery, that's who. He never passes up an opportunity to upset a child, especially if they are of the happy variety. In what can only be described as a moment of pure confuddlery, an overworked elf makes a mistake of epic proportions by placing the fate of Christmas firmly into these bony hands. Two outcomes are possible but only one is certain. Slanticulis could roll up the sleeves of his smelly old duffel coat and help deliver a Merry Christmas to all. Then again, he could unleash his unique brand of mischief and mayhem upon all who he despises - which is pretty much everyone except for his four legged companion, Trix.
