An irresistible collectible hardcover in the Penguin Christmas Classics series, L. Frank Baum's Life and Adventures of Santa Claus, first published in 1902, chronicles Santa's life from his enchanted forest childhood to his destiny of sharing gifts and spreading love. Drawing on elements from Clement Moore's poem "A Visit from St. Nicholas," Baum reveals Santa's journey, including his first toy-making experiences, the origins of the Christmas tree and stockings, and the secrets behind traditions like sliding down chimneys and delivering gifts in one night. This timeless tale, adapted into animated films and featuring original illustrations from its first edition, captures the charm and fantasy that define Baum's Oz stories. The Penguin Christmas Classics series honors literature's enduring power, showcasing beloved holiday tales that have shaped our Christmas traditions. From Dickens' A Christmas Carol, which revived Victorian customs, to Trollope's stories popularizing Christmas in London, these volumes celebrate the essence of the holiday.
