The Life and Adventures of Santa Claus Hardback

Part of the Macmillan Collector's Library series

Hardback

Description

Fashioned as a whimsical fairy tale, The Life and Adventures of Santa Claus was published in 1902, just two years after L.

Frank Baum's masterpiece of the imagination, The Wonderful Wizard of Oz. Part of the Macmillan Collector's Library; a series of stunning, clothbound, pocket-sized classics with gold foiled edges and ribbon markers.

These beautiful books make perfect gifts or a treat for any book lover.

This festive edition of The Life and Adventures of Santa Claus features charming, original illustrations by Mary Cowles Clark and an afterword by writer and journalist Ned Halley. A baby is found by wood nymphs in the forest of Burzee.

They raise him as their own and give him the name Neclaus. When he grows up, Neclaus has to leave the forest so he makes a home for himself in the laughing valley of Hohaha, where he lives amongst humans for the first time.

He discovers there that many children are very poor and neglected so, to cheer them up, he whittles wooden toys as gifts.

Eventually he makes presents for all the children and so the story of Santa Claus is born.
