Join the creator of the Wizard of Oz for this flight of Christmas fancy. Have you ever wondered where Santa Claus came from? Frank L. Baum has not only wondered, he has imagined an entire life story for the holiday hero. This story takes us to the enchanted Forest of Burzee, where the orphan boy Claus is raised by wood nymphs. Growing up in this magical world, he has no notion of the life of ordinary people. When Master Woodsman Ak decides to show him the suffering of mortals, Claus becomes determined to find a way to help. Filled with Baums customary imagination and whimsy, The Life and Adventures of Santa Claus is a delightful read any time of year.
