The Life and Adventures of Santa Claus by L. Frank Baum
5.0
This short book, given an origin story of Santa Clause that's very different from any others you've heard, is about what you'd expect from the author of the Wizard of Oz books. Baum has a great imagination and this is a classic told in his inimitable style.
Although it's in the public domain and is available from many sources, it's well worth seeking out the Penguin Christmas Classics edition which includes the original edition's illustrations by Mary Cowles Clark, done in the Art Nouveau style that was so popular when the book was published in 1902. The typography and layout done by Penguin makes the ebook edition a real pleasure to read.
