"The Goblin at the Grocer's" (Danish: Nissen hos Spekhøkeren) is a fairy tale published in 1852 by Danish author Hans Christian Andersen, about a goblin (nisse) who must choose between poetry or his Christmas porridge from a grocer.
Andrew Lang included the tale as "The Goblin and the Grocer" in The Pink Fairy Book (1897).
The spekhøkeren does not mean just "grocer" but a materialistic "Philistine" as well, and he uses pages ripped out of a precious book of poems to wrap merchandise such as cheese. Hence the alternate title "The Goblin and the Huckster".
