The Life and Adventures of Santa Claus by L. Frank Baum

4.0

An interesting pagan history of Santa Claus that thankfully leaves out any religious connections to the character. This is written as a fairy tale with Santa being raised by wood nymphs in an enchanted forest. I liked it as an origin story and it includes an incredibly bizarre battle sequence between the immortals of the forest and some evil creatures called Awgwas. Worth reading.
