I found this book pretty delightful! I know much of it is just fantasy. It is a trip through history that I found enchanting. It was recommended to me by a young mom who is reading it to her two small children.
We have been celebrating St. Nicholas Day since my kids were toddlers. We just had Santa Claus, Are You for Real? This would be a great one to read leading up to that holiday!
It all started when Jeff Guinn was assigned to write a piece full of little-known facts about Christmas for his paper, The Fort Worth Star-Telegram. A few months later, he received a call from a gentleman who told him that he showed the story to an important friend who didn't think much of it. And who might that be? asked Jeff. The next thing he knew, he was whisked off to the North Pole to meet with this "very important friend," and the rest is, well, as they say, history.
An enchanting holiday treasure, The Autobiography of Santa Claus combines solid historical fact with legend to deliver the definitive story of Santa Claus. And who better to lead us through seventeen centuries of Christmas magic than good ol' Saint Nick himself? Families will delight in each chapter of this new Christmas classic-one per each cold December night leading up to Christmas!
