The Life and Adventures of Santa Claus

Lyman Frank Baum's story „The Life and Adventures of Santa Claus“ is a Christmas classic that brings the family together. The author of the “Wizard of Oz” tells us his version of how Santa became our beloved Santa Claus. He accompanies him through the three main stages in life: youth, manhood and old age. Santa's rise to fame is a story of adventure, filled with loads of magic and most importantly LOVE. It is his love of the world's children that transforms a normal human being into a saint! Of course, Claus could not have succeeded, if he had not had some extra help from his dear friends and happy helpers: the immortals. Yet, besides these goodly creatures (the Ryls, the Knooks, the Fairies, Nymphs, and many more) there are unpleasant beings such as Baron Braun, not to forget the evil Awgwas who take no pleasure in Santa's good deeds at all. This christmas story is full of magic, love, wonder and adventure and it sheds light on the mysterious past of one of the most popular saints in the world.
