The Life and Adventures of Santa Claus

Set in a fantastical world, this children's book by L. Frank Baum explores the origins and adventures of Santa Claus. It showcases his journey from a baby found in the woods to becoming the beloved figure who delivers gifts to children. While not as widely recognized as Baum's Wizard of Oz series, it has inspired adaptations, including graphic novels and animated films. The narrative is enriched by a sequel short story, "A Kidnapped Santa Claus," which further expands on Santa's whimsical universe.
