DOWNLOAD EBOOKDo you want to snuggle up with a good Christmas book for kids? The story of Santa Claus is beautifully captured in this classic Christmas novella and is one of the best children's Christmas books of all time. It is a wonderful Christmas book for adults to read as well. A Kidnapped Santa Claus was published two years after Baum's The Life & Adventures of Santa Claus and shares its mythological basis of fairies and demons. As evil forces conspire to cancel Christmas and capture Santa Claus, four of Santa's trusted helpers struggle to deliver the presents on time and ultimately save Christmas. A Kidnapped Santa Claus was written L. Frank Baum and published in 1904. It has been called "one of Baum's most beautiful stories" and has contributed significant influence to modern Christmas folklore. It has been enjoyed by readers, young and old, for over 115 years! This beautiful reprint of the original story is unedited and unabridged, preserving the original A Kidnapped Santa Claus for your reading pleasure. It makes a wonderful gift for book lovers or a beautiful stocking stuffer. Excerpt: "Santa Claus lives in the Laughing Valley, where stands the big, rambling castle in which his toys are manufactured. His workmen, selected from the ryls, knooks, pixies and fairies, live with him, and every one is as busy as can be from one year's end to another. It is called the Laughing Valley because everything there is happy and gay. The brook chuckles to itself as it leaps rollicking between its green banks; the wind whistles merrily in the trees; the sunbeams dance lightly over the soft grass, and the violets and wild flowers look smilingly up from their green nests. To laugh one needs to be happy; to be happy one needs to be content. " Features: Original 1904 Text Classic Christmas Short Story Dimensions: 5x8 inches Matte Cover

DOWNLOAD EBOOKOne of five beloved Christmas classics A Merry Christmas collects the treasured holiday tales of Louisa May Alcott, from the dearly familiar Yuletide benevolence of Marmee and her “little women” to the timeless “What Love Can Do,” wherein the residents of a boarding house come together to make a lovely Christmas for two poor girls. Wildly popular at the time of their publication—readers deluged Alcott with letters demanding sequels—and drawing on Alcott’s family and experiences in the abolitionist and women’s suffrage movements, these stories have the authentic texture and detail of Christmas in nineteenth-century America, while their emphasis on generosity and charity make them timeless embodiments of the Christmas spirit. Penguin Christmas Classics Give the gift of literature this Christmas. Penguin Christmas Classics honor the power of literature to keep on giving through the ages. The five volumes in the series are not only our most beloved Christmas tales, they also have given us much of what we love about the holiday itself. A Christmas Carol revived in Victorian England such Christmas hallmarks as the Christmas tree, holiday cards, and caroling. The Yuletide yarns of Anthony Trollope popularized throughout the British Empire and around the world the trappings of Christmas in London. The holiday tales of Louisa May Alcott shaped the ideal of an American Christmas. The Night Before Christmas brought forth some of our earliest Christmas traditions as passed down through folk tales. And The Nutcracker inspired the most famous ballet in history, one seen by millions in the twilight of every year.
