L. Frank Baum, author of "The Wizard of Oz," created a wonderful biography for Santa Claus, full of adventure and magic. It introduces you to a foundling abandoned in the woods by humans and raised by fairies, nymphs, and kind forest creatures. You'll see how Klaus grows into a young man determined to help people no matter what, becomes a tall, stately man with a chestnut beard, skilled at making toys and protecting children from evil, and finally achieves immortality so he can always bring joy to children.

You'll also learn why he first climbed into the house through the chimney, how he fought the great battle with the terrible augwes who hate children's laughter, where his home is (it's not at the North Pole!), and the real names of his reindeer (it's a big secret).

Evgenia Goncharova's new translation, which carefully conveys the wonderful humor and philosophical depth of Baum's tale, and Mary Coles Clark's classic illustrations from her earliest editions, will help with this.

And of course, this kind, wise, and very unexpected book is simply made to be a gift under the Christmas tree. Klaus guarantees it!
