The Life and Adventures of Santa Claus
By L. Frank Baum (1856-1919)

This story of Santa Claus veers away slightly from the
traditional stories of his beginnings. L. Frank Baum
creates a world of fantasy that surrounds Santa Claus's
life. Orphaned at an infant he is found by the nymph
Necile, who convinces the great Ak to allow her to raise
Claus for her own. As he grows older he meets his fellow
humans, and sees the neglect of children. This sets him
on the path to making toys and becoming the beloved
Saint Nicholas we are familiar with today, (summary by Kri)
