The Life and Adventures of Santa Claus

175 pp. | Holt | October, 2003 | Trade ISBN 0-8050-3822-1 $$19.95
(4) 1-3 Illustrated by Michael Hague & Michael Hague. A human foundling is adopted by a wood nymph who lives in a magic forest. Claus grows up to make toys that he gives to mortal children; the joy that he spreads eventually earns him the Mantle of Immortality. First published in 1902, this meandering but appealingly old-fashioned tale by the author of The Wizard of Oz features full-page magic-creature-filled illustrations indebted to Arthur Rackham.
