Holly Hill was a place for Christmas! Holly Hill, the old rambling Stratford homestead in Virginia, on its high hill, looking down the long slope and across the wide fields to the far woods rimming the sky. From Bob, the veteran, within a month of his teens, down to brown-eyed Evelyn, with her golden hair floating all around her, when Christmas came everyone hung up a stocking, and the visit of Santa Claus was the event of the year.

Holly Hill was a place for Christmas! Holly Hill, the old rambling Stratford homestead in Virginia, on its high hill, looking down the long slope and across the wide fields to the far woods rimming the sky. From Bob, the veteran, within a month of his teens, down to brown-eyed Evelyn, with her golden hair floating all around her, when Christmas came everyone hung up a stocking, and the visit of Santa Claus was the event of the year. They went to sleep the night before Christmas—or rather they went to bed, for sleep was long far from their bright eyes—with delightful expectations and thrills along their backs, and with little squeakings and gurglings, like so many little white mice, and if Santa Claus had not always been so very prompt in disappearing up the chimney before daybreak he must certainly have been caught. For by the time the chickens were crowing in the morning there would be an answering twitter through the house, and with a patter of little feet and subdued laughter small, white-clad figures would steal through the dim light of dusky rooms and cold passages, opening doors with sudden bursts, and shouting "Christmas gift!" into darkened chambers, at still sleeping elders. Then they would scurry away in the gray light to rake open the hickory embers and revel in the exploration of their bulging, overcrowded stockings. Not Columbus was to be envied when those discoveries were being made. What was a new world to those treasures! The thrill of the new jack-knife remains after forty years—it had four blades, each worth a province. Envy Columbus? Perish the thought!

Do you want to snuggle up with a good Christmas book for kids? The story of Santa Claus is beautifully captured in this classic Christmas novella and is one of the best children's Christmas books of all time. It is a wonderful Christmas book for adults to read as well. A Kidnapped Santa Claus was published two years after Baum's The Life & Adventures of Santa Claus and shares its mythological basis of fairies and demons. As evil forces conspire to cancel Christmas and capture Santa Claus, four of Santa's trusted helpers struggle to deliver the presents on time and ultimately save Christmas. A Kidnapped Santa Claus was written L. Frank Baum and published in 1904. It has been called "one of Baum's most beautiful stories" and has contributed significant influence to modern Christmas folklore. It has been enjoyed by readers, young and old, for over 115 years! This beautiful reprint of the original story is unedited and unabridged, preserving the original A Kidnapped Santa Claus for your reading pleasure. It makes a wonderful gift for book lovers or a beautiful stocking stuffer. Excerpt: "Santa Claus lives in the Laughing Valley, where stands the big, rambling castle in which his toys are manufactured. His workmen, selected from the ryls, knooks, pixies and fairies, live with him, and every one is as busy as can be from one year's end to another. It is called the Laughing Valley because everything there is happy and gay. The brook chuckles to itself as it leaps rollicking between its green banks; the wind whistles merrily in the trees; the sunbeams dance lightly over the soft grass, and the violets and wild flowers look smilingly up from their green nests. To laugh one needs to be happy; to be happy one needs to be content. " Features: Original 1904 Text Classic Christmas Short Story Dimensions: 5x8 inches Matte Cover

A delightfully devious Christmas story from beloved librarian Betsy Bird and Caldecott Medalist Dan Santat. Freddy Melcher is Santa's #1 Fan. He has Santa posters, Santa action figures, and even Santa underwear. But there is one prize Freddy desperately wants: A photograph taken with Santa, fresh out of the chimney. Oh, is it risky! It's awfully hard to sneak anything by someone who can see you when you're sleeping and knows when you're awake. That's why Freddy has been extra good this year . . . at hiding his plans. Will Freddy get away with his delightfully devious scheme to outwit Santa Claus himself and capture the ultimate selfie?
