Abridged* Version but with Gorgeous Illustrations. A Collector's copy for those who don't care about

The copy that I purchased turned out to be an abridged* version of only 56 pages in length, 31 of which were full-page illustrations. While it is a wonderful volume, nicely presented with Beautiful, Artistic, Well-drawn illustrations, it was not the one I was hoping for. This hard bound, former Library copy, is approximately 0.5" x 9.25" x 12.25" in size and would be THE perfect one to read on Christmas Eve with the family...

Beautiful reimagining of the legend.

Forget all of the Santa Claus legends you've read before -- there's no North...

(The story starts in fairy land and much of it involves the fairies and woodland spirits. If you are expecting traditional Christmas lore you will get that but not quite yet.) The fairies are immortal, but Claus will grow up and age...

What a Wonderful Treat for Christmas!!!

This book has a rather peculiar history. Originally published in 1902, two years after Baum's success with The Wizard of Oz,the first printing contained 20 color illustrations. In the second printing, eight of the color illustrations were left out, replaced by numerous black and white marginal illustrations. So you can imagine the delight of Oz fans when they discover this lovely edition in full color readily available after...
