Una storia davvero graziosa, non c’è che dire: credo entrerà a tutti gli effetti nella mia lista di “classici di Natale” da rispolverare in questo periodo!
Mi è piaciuto molto come l’autore abbia saputo mischiare personaggi inventati e curiosi a personaggi umani e reali, ma soprattutto come l'autore abbia saputo mettere insieme tutti i dettagli della leggenda nella sua versione più classica con grande linearità e genialità.

La storia è leggera, breve, si gode senza fatica e secondo me è il tipico romanzo carino da leggere ai bambini perchè piace anche ai grandi. Non avevo mai letto un libro su o con Babbo Natale, ma penso che se ce ne sarà occasione, questo lo leggerò ai miei bambini!

I watched the animated version of this recently and it was like an acid trip come to life, so I had to read the source of this fevered dream. Not quite as odd as the stop-motion version, but still quite different, but very charming.

Buku dongeng yang menarik menceritakan asal mulanya Santa Claus bisa ada. Saya seperti ditarik kedalam dunianya yang penuh dengan makluk2 fana dan haha paling suka bagian yang membuat mainan untuk anak-anak di seluruh dunia. Buku yang membuat stress menjadi hilang :P

Along with the animated 2000 movie, this book and story has always been my favourite Santa Claus tale. I adore the incorporation of the original fable of St Nicolas with the fae world, I think it works perfectly to create a magical world.

Baum has written a fun, sweet origin story for Santa Claus, and it is a perfect read for the holiday season. It feels more like a fairy tale than a Christmas story, and if Baum has made Santa Claus a little too perfect, kind, and wonderful, well, that’s as it should be, right? I imagine this would be a nice chapter book to read with your children, especially if you could find an edition with good illustrations.
