About this ebook
L. Frank Baum
Lyman Frank Baum was born in 1856 in Chittenango in the state of New York. Educated mostly at home due to ill health, he was encouraged by his wealthy father to pursue his early interests in journalism and playwriting. He started his first magazine aged fifteen, had his own theatre at twenty-four and worked for many newspapers and periodicals before turning to children's fiction with stories he had made up for his own four sons. The Wonderful Wizard of Oz, published in 1900, was his third bestselling book in as many years, and launched the series of Oz titles. Baum had moved with his family to Hollywood following the huge success of the books and stage adaptations. His own Oz Film Manufacturing Company failed to capitalize on the stories, and the hugely popular movie The Wizard of Oz starring Judy Garland, was not made until twenty years after Baum's death in 1939.

Reviews for A Kidnapped Santa Claus
17 ratings2 reviews
- Rating: 3 out of 5 stars3/5Cute little bit of fluff. Santa is kidnapped by the Daemons of Selfishness, Envy, Hatred...Everything turns out all right, of course - even the presents get delivered properly (more or less). Cute short piece.
- Rating: 4 out of 5 stars4/5There was no need for Repentance when the other Daemons had no guests, but if one was their "guest" and didn't wish to stay, the only way out of the caves was through Repentance. He was an important part of the ecosystem. Santa was doing such a good job, that he was putting the others out of theirs, which led to their plan.I found it to be an entertaining story. I also enjoyed the quote about bad news. Just think what our news cycles would be like if that was the case. ?
