Ned Barnes, the Search for Joulupukki (Hardcover)

Santa Claus is dying. Once admired for his goodness and noble qualities, he's been reduced in modern times to little more than a holiday marketing gimmick. That is about to change. Ned Barnes, The Search for Joulupukki tells of a hard-bitten explorer's search to discover the real Santa Claus. This is no lighthearted toddler tale. Beneath its adult-level, Indiana Jones-style action is a touching story that warms the soul and reawakens faith once more in the human spirit. Its message spans all cultures and religions and reaches deep into the hearts of readers, adults and children alike. It may even leave some believing.
