The Life and Adventures of Santa Claus: Classic Tales Edition

“In all this world, there is nothing so beautiful as a happy child.” (Santa Claus) 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. Baum first introduced Ryls and Knooks in his collection of short stories, American Fairy Tales. In The Life and Adventures of Santa Claus, his mythology is more fleshed out, comprising a rich enchanted world, which also includes the more traditional nymphs, guardians of the trees and fairies, and guardians of humans. Later, when Baum’s creation of Oz became his main focus, he placed all of his fantastical realms around Oz, yet designated that the forest of Burzee was the source of the magic of Oz itself.

Susan's Real Christmas

“Susan’s Real Christmas” by Paul A. Lynch tells the story of Susan, a twelve-year-old girl who is an only child. Susan is quite selfish, but it’s not entirely her fault because her parents are the same too. She is very excited about each Christmas because her parents give her the best toys and clothes because they are rich. One evening around the dinner table, Susan’s father asks her if she would give her friends some of her toys for Christmas, but she insists that her friends have enough for themselves. Her dad doesn’t say anything, but her mother then insists that Susan eats her vegetables. But the girl is disobedient, so her dad tells her to eat it, or she will get one toy for Christmas, and her friends will get the rest. Susan, hearing this, decides to eat her vegetables, brush her teeth, and go to sleep. However, five minutes after falling asleep, she discovers a man appearing before her in white clothes and an illuminating light. The man identifies himself as the angel of the Lord, Gabriel, who always brings good news. Gabriel then tells Susan that his mission is to bring her back in time to show her the real meaning of Christmas. In the end, Susan discovers the true meaning of Christmas, and she spreads the good news to her parents.
