From the Dust Jacket: The felicitous combinationn of L. Frank Baum's graceful, lilting languge and Mary Cowles Clark's delightful illustrations make "The Life and Adventures of Santa Claus" an entrancing reading experience for young and old alike. Its message about the importance of love and kindness in a difficult world endows this story with a universality that goes far beyond the bounds of Christmas. It is a tale, lovingly told, as timeless and immortal as beloved Santa Claus himself.

The Wonderful Wizard of Oz is a children's novel written by L. Frank Baum and illustrated by W.W. Denslow. It was originally published by the George M. Hill Company in Chicago on May 17, 1900,[1] and has since been reprinted countless times, most often under the name The Wizard of Oz, which is the name of both the 1902 stage play and the extremely popular, highly acclaimed 1939 film version. The story chronicles the adventures of a girl named Dorothy in the Land of Oz. Thanks in part to the 1939 MGM movie, it is one of the best-known stories in English popular culture and has been widely translated. Its initial success, and the success of the popular 1902 Broadway musical Baum adapted from his story, led to Baum writing thirteen more Oz books
