The Santa Claus Stories

By L. Frank Baum

Book Overview

The original Santa Claus stories, by the creator of The Wizard of Oz

L. Frank Baum created the unforgettable world of Oz, but he also had an enormous impact on American culture by creating and memorializing the mythos of Santa Claus.

Writing to entertain his own children, Baum also captured the imaginations of children around the world with his images of Santa and his reindeer, stockings by the chimney, and a magical trip around the world in a single night.

Here in one volume for the first time are five of Baum's Santa Claus tales. Gathered from book, magazine, and Sunday paper, these are the stories that shaped the legend of the "Patron Saint of Children." From Little Bun Rabbit in Santa's workshop to the Wogglebug and friends making toys, over a century ago Baum created a legacy that captures hearts and imaginations to this day.

Baum's Santa stories may have been written for children, but will appeal to anyone of any age who still understands the magic and joy of Christmas.
