This is a wonderful Christmas read! It is 3 books in one, but the first-The Autobiography of Santa Claus is my favorite, though they are all good. It begins in the year 280 A.D. and brings us to the 20th century with some insight on stockings by the fire, how reindeer fly, how Santa and his helpers can live at the North Pole. What's really fun is the help he receives along the way from some surprising historical figures: Attila the Hun, Leonardo da Vinci, Teddy Roosevelt, Washington Irving, Charles Dickens, Amelia Earhart and others. Some of these characters appear in all three books. I like to "believe" there is some truth to these books filled with the spirit of Christmas!
