Publisher's Synopsis
L. Frank Baum's wild imagination takes up the Santa Claus story, reinventing it with a new origin myth in line with the Oz fanasies for which Baum is best known. From his humble beginnings as the only human child in an enchanted forest to his ultimate destiny as the immortal being who delivers toys to the children of the world, Santa Claus finds a sympathetic storyteller in Baum. The Life and Adventures of Santa Claus is a must-read for anyone who wants to recapture the childlike essence of Christmas! This edition also includes Baum's other Santa Claus story, "A Kidnapped Santa Claus," a sequel to The Life and Adventures of Santa Claus.
