Included are a dozen classic sweet stories about Santa Claus and Christmas to delight young and old alike. You might just learn something about "The Jolly Old Elf" that you didn't know before.

The architect of The Wizard of Oz delves into the mythological beginnings of the jolly old elf himself. Baum created a mythological world in which the magical forest of Burzee, created at the beginning of time, is the main source of all otherworldly magical power. Ak, the Master Woodsman, ruled the forests; Kern, the Master Husbandman of the World, ruled the food crops; Bo, the Master Mariner of the World, ruled the seas. All other immortals are subject to these three. Baum also created Ryls as guardians of the flowers and Knooks as guardians of the animals of the world.

Geoffrey Holland stood up and for the second time surveyed the restaurant in search of other members of his party, two fingers in the pocket of his waistcoat, as if they had just relinquished his watch.

Everyone knows about Santa Claus of course and his wonderful trip around the world on the night before Christmas. But what about his early life? Where was he born? What was he like as a youth? How did he come to be such a wonderful toymaker? When did he start using the Reindeer? And, most importantly, how has he been able to live so very long?

O. Henry wrote many stories, but this, the story of two "ultimate gifts", is his most famous.

Sta passando la Grande Giostra della Figurina Magica, annunciata da un clown irriverente che grida ai quattro venti l'arrivo in città di questa strabiliante meraviglia. Una giostra è una giostra, una festa per grandi e piccini. Questa poi dichiara di essere "magica", di avere una figurina magica, come resistergli? È irresistibile, infatti, ed Epifanio in compagnia del padre si precipita ad affrontare la sfida.

Había en Gloucester un sastre que era muy buena persona, y cuando le sobraba algo de tela después de terminar las ropas y trajes que le encargaban, dejaba los trocitos de tela para hacer chalecos para ratones.

It’s all seen through the eyes of Jack, the hero of many a story, who befriends a young couple on their walk to Bethlehem.
