Relates Santa's life, from childhood to old age and immortality, mentioning such adventures as those with the friendly wood nymphs and the wicked Awgwas.
This tale of Santa's birth, youth, adulthood and immortality is a delight. But be aware, this tale does not match with common Hollywood & TV presentations of similar topics/materials. No, this much more magical and old-timey. My grandson (age 9) and I enjoyed it immensely.
It's probably not up to par with The Wizard of Oz as far as fanciful storytelling, but what is here is truly an underrated Christmas tale for kids, full of adventure and an unorthodox portrayal of the jolly one to boot.
