This is a tale of how Santa Claus came to be. We meet him as a young child who liked to give Christmas gifts and that sets the course of his life...
Grafton and Scratch Publishers and Net Galley let me read this book for review (thank you). It will be published September 12th.
Those of you who know your nursery rhymes will meet all kinds of old friends in this tale. There's Jack and Jill, Mary who's quite contrary and many many more. When Mrs. Claus keeps having twins after Santa's birth, he wants to give them presents like the other children get but there is no money. So he starts spending time in their workshed and soon as created all kinds of handmade toys. When he's ready to deliver them, he falls asleep on the roof where he meant to sneak them in the house. His parents can't find him and notify the town crier so everyone is out searching for him. That means there is a big crowd when he comes down the chimney and hands out his presents. And that starts his new career...
The most fun was watching how the author added nursery rhyme characters to the story. If you have a little one who likes fairy tales or likes Mother Goose, they'll enjoy this tale as well.
