Synopsis

You Never Know About Santa Claus brings together four wonderfully unusual Christmas tales from the early twentieth century. In these classic stories, Santa Claus finds himself in situations that are anything but ordinary. He may be kidnapped, become involved with a very unusual Christmas stocking, encounter mischievous goblins, or find himself part of a magical Christmas adventure. The result is a lively collection filled with humor, fantasy, surprises, and old-fashioned Christmas fun. The collection includes A Kidnapped Santa Claus by L. Frank Baum, The Thin Santa Claus by Ellis Parker Butler, The Goblins’ Christmas by Elizabeth Anderson, and Tommy Trot’s Visit to Santa Claus by Thomas Nelson Page. Original introductions, transitions, and closing narration by Bert Nichols Stauff help younger listeners follow the stories and connect with the language, humor, and Christmas themes of these classic works. A fun collection for children and families who enjoy vintage Christmas stories, imaginative adventures, mischievous characters, and the timeless joy of Christmas.
