The original Santa Claus stories, by the creator of The Wizard of Oz

Student Editor: James Romag

L. Frank Baum created the unforgettable world of Oz, but he also had an enormous impact on American culture by creating and memorializing the mythos of Santa Claus.

Writing to entertain his own children, Baum also captured the imaginations of children around the world with his images of Santa and his reindeer, stockings by the chimney, and a magical trip around the world in a single night.

Here in one volume for the first time are five of Baum’s Santa Claus tales. Gathered from book, magazine, and Sunday paper, these are the stories that shaped the legend of the “Patron Saint of Children.” From Little Bun Rabbit in Santa’s workshop to the Wogglebug and friends making toys, over a century ago Baum created a legacy that captures hearts and imaginations to this day.

Baum’s Santa stories may have been written for children, but will appeal to anyone of any age who still understands the magic and joy of Christmas.

Featuring many of the original illustrations.

Virginia’s dad got a job in a former colony thrusting her into a world where middle eastern immigrants stir the embers of the pre-colonial culture. Torn between blending in or defying she must find out who she really is to make a meaningful choice.

Distracted by love, her respectless friends push her hard, her parents misunderstand, and the most unlikely mentor gives her a vivid historical perspective. All the while a powerful ancient force awakens and influences her dreams. To uncover the meaning of it, she must master a dragon’s legacy.

Contains nightmares.
