Publisher's Summary:
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.
From the author of the Wizard of Oz comes a magical tale about the origins and story of Santa Claus including Santa's childhood among the fairies and animals, how he came to make presents, and why he comes down our chimneys at Christmas.

Beautiful Story of Santa Claus. Timeless.
What a neat story that explains the origins of Santa Claus and how he started making toys and became immortal. Then moves on to how parents help get the toys he makes to the kids he so loves. I've never read L. Frank Baum, and not really into reading children's literature these days, but I enjoyed this so much I'm going to purchase a hard cover, illustrated copy for my great nephews and great niece to read every Christmas. Now I want to read the Wizard of Oz series.
The Complete Story of Santa Claus
This is a great Christmas story for young and old alike. It gives the history of Santa Claus from the time of birth to old age. The book also gets into how the legend developed over the course of Santa's life. There are many interesting aspects of how the Santa grew up, developed making toys and how he arrived at his delivery system for Christmas Eve. It is a fun and interesting story. I truly enjoyed the book.
Wonderful Holiday Read-Aloud
This was a very imaginative story and quite enjoyable for my kids. The illustrations are wonderful and I actually stopped and studied each one to take in all the details. Very entertaining read if you like the L. Frank Baum style - which I do. This is a great book to read to your children!!
Not enough of a Christmas atmosphere...
This book interested me because it was written by L. Frank Baum, author of the OZ books, but frankly, I was disappointed. It required more suspension of disbelief than my senior citizen mind could handle. Children might enjoy it, but I would have preferred more of a "Christmas-y" atmosphere.
Enjoyed it
I enjoyed this story very much. I loved how Santa was saved by deaths clutches at the last minute with the mantle of immortality. It had such a great fantasy world that seemed so real.
