The Life and Adventures of Santa Claus (Plus a Bonus Book): With 10 Illustrations and a Free Online Audio Link.
Plus, a bonus short story called: A Kidnapped Santa Claus.
This story of Santa Claus veers away slightly from the traditional stories of his beginnings. L. Frank Baum creates a world of fantasy that surrounds Santa Claus's life. Orphaned as an infant he is found by the nymph Necile, who convinces the great Ak to allow her to raise Claus for her own. As he grows older he meets his fellow humans, and sees the neglect of children. This sets him on the path to making toys and becoming the beloved Saint Nicholas we are familiar with today.
A Kidnapped Santa Claus - was published two years after Baum's The Life and Adventures of Santa Claus (1902), and shares its mythological cosmos: in the story as in the novel, Santa lives in the Laughing Valley on the border of the Forest of Burzee, and is assisted by knooks, ryls, fairies, and pixies. But this land is also inhabited by the Daemons of Selfishness, Envy, Hatred, Malice and Repentance. The Daemons of the Caves resent Santa Claus because children under the influence of his gifts rarely visit their caves.
Highlights of this edition are:
• 10 illustrations and photos.
• A free web link to the full-length audio recording of the book – to either listen to online, or download.
• It is formatted for ease of use and enjoyment on your nook reader.
• An active (easy to use) Table of Contents listing every chapter accessible from the nook menu.
• Perfect formatting in rich text compatible with nook's Text-to-Speech features.
• Plus, about the Author section.
• 186 pages (in the nook format) for a very low price.
This book is unabridged and appears as it was first intended. First published in 1902/1904.
