Would you like to ride with Santa on his sleigh at Christmas Eve, taking presents to children all over the world? What presents do you think children want? Elphin, the elf, is Santa’s little helper. Elphin’s pet mouse, a secret gift from Santa, keeps running away or getting lost. The reindeer are up to their naughty antics. They all cut a path of excitement through earthquakes, erupting volcanoes, a bushfire, floods, storms, fog, high-flying birds, and past a rocket. Will Santa land home safely? Santa and Mrs. Claus are going on holiday after delivering presents for 5th January Eve. They end up in Nursery Rhyme Land by mistake. The grand old Duke of York is threatening war against old King Cole. With the help of Santa and Mrs. Claus, can the King win the fight? The elves in Santa’s workshop go on strike for pay. As Santa travels around on Christmas Eve, he asks the fairy folk where he can get a pot of gold. It is in Ireland, at the end of the rainbow. Can Santa find it with help from the leprechauns? Santa, as Saint Nicholas, makes his deliveries of presents to children on 6th December, Saint Nicholas’ Eve. He discovers thieves have stolen a batch of presents he left in storage in Spain. How will Santa ever find them again in time?

Christmas has been under attack for years, thanks to the evil Ice Queen and her mother, Emma Frostbite, the Empress of the North. With the power of a troll army and Nutcracker war machine behind them, the Queen and her mother have now set their sights on the last remaining Christmas stronghold, the twin cities of Feliz and Navidad. Now that Christmas bells, songs, and the spirit have been taken away for good, this just may be the end of Christmas in the world. Sixteen-year-old orphan Nicholas Claus isn’t about to let this happen. Fueled by an indomitable Christmas spirit, Nicholas embarks on a quest to seek help from a mysterious woman called Christmas Carol, stop the Ice Queen, and hopefully restore Christmas to its ultimate glory. While following clues hidden in a special snow globe, he is joined by allies as they attempt to find Christmas Carol and battle forces bent on destroying the holiday. As Nicholas and his friends set out on a hero’s mission to Tannenbaum, Feliz, Navidad, and the North Pole, he has no idea that his journey is about to lead him to receive the best Christmas gift ever. Santa Claus: The First Noel continues the tale of a young man’s quest to save Christmas from the destructive claws of an evil Ice Queen and her frosty mother.

This is the illustrated edition including all the beautiful drawings by Mary Cowles Clark. In this story, we learn how the infant Santa Claus, abandoned in a forest, was rescued by Ak, the Master Woodman, and was adopted and cared for by a lovely wood-nymph. As he grew older, his kind and friendly nature, and his skill in making toys (did you know that Santa Claus made the first toy?) caused him to be loved by all the children in the nearby villages. He soon began to make longer trips to distribute the many play-things that he had so cleverly fashioned, and finally he was given permission to borrow up to ten deer once a year, on Christmas Eve, to lend speed to his journeys, so that it might be possible for every child on earth to have a toy. So the fame of Santa Claus spread, and after many years, when his life seemed drawing to a close, the Immortals of the world voted to bestow upon him the Mantle of Immortality.
