The Life & Adventures of Santa Claus- L. Frank Baum

Have you heard of the story of how Santa came to be? The one with fairies, Knooks, giants, Goozzle goblins and three hundred fire-breathing dragons? I hadn’t!! From the magical mind of the man who brought us The Wizard of Oz comes the fantastical, unique telling of how the magical, mystical life of Santa Claus.

Why hasn’t this been made into a movie?? Why haven’t I ever heard of this before?

The story starts with the adoption of Claus, an abandoned mortal, in the Forest of Burzee by the kind-hearted nymph, Necile. Deciding his fate to bring joy to children, we learn of how the first toy came to be, the first journey with reindeer, and the epic battle between the kind immortals and the evil Agwas who seek to eradicate joy from the world.

So endearing and surprisingly exciting, I think reading this each Christmas will become a tradition for me!
