Описание книги

e-artnow presents to you the L. Frank Baum Christmas collection with the greatest stories author dedicated to this most beloved holiday season. Content: "The Life and Adventures of Santa Claus" – This children's book classic tells the tale about the boyhood of Santa Claus. In a world full of immortals and mortals, the forest of Burzee received an abandoned infant which is found by the nymphs. And Necile, who wishes, even though it is against the law, to spare the child and raise it as her own. Ak, the Master Woodsman reluctantly allows Necile to take in the baby and name him Claus. As he grows older Claus befriends the creatures of the forest and Ak shows him the children of the world who he has sympathy for. When Claus reaches adulthood he leaves the forest of Burzee and travels to the country called the Laughing Valley… "A Kidnapped Santa Claus" – The Daemons of the Caves resent Santa Claus because children under the influence of his gifts rarely visit their caves. They decide to frustrate his efforts and counter his influence. The Daemons first try to tempt Santa Claus to their own vices; they visit him one by one, and attempt to lure him into selfishness, envy, and hatred. Santa Claus merely laughs at their clumsy efforts. Failing at temptation, the Daemons instead kidnap Santa Claus; they lasso him as he is riding in his sleigh on Christmas Eve, and bind him in their caverns… "The Wonderful Wizard of Oz" chronicles the adventures of a young farm girl named Dorothy in the magical Land of Oz, after she and her pet dog Toto are swept away from their Kansas home by a cyclone.

"Which means that I must plow the earth and plant corn," he reflected; "so that when winter comes I shall have garnered food in plenty."
