<p/><br></br><p><b> About the Book </b></p></br></br>"Combines historical fact with legend to tell the story of Santa Claus, written in the voice of Santa Claus himself." --]cProvided by publisher<p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br><p> </p><br>It all started when Jeff Guinn was assigned to write a piece full of little-known facts about Christmas for his paper, <i>The Fort Worth Star-Telegram.</i> A few months later, he received a call from a gentleman who told him that he showed the story to an important friend who didn't think much of it. And who might that be? asked Jeff. The next thing he knew, he was whisked off to the North Pole to meet with this "very important friend," and the rest is, well, as they say, history. <p/>An enchanting holiday treasure, <i>The Autobiography of Santa Claus</i> combines solid historical fact with legend to deliver the <i>definitive</i> story of Santa Claus. And who better to lead us through seventeen centuries of Christmas magic than good ol' Saint Nick himself? Families will delight in each chapter of this new Christmas classic--one per each cold December night leading up to Christmas!<p/><br></br><p><b> Review Quotes </b></p></br></br><br><b>THE AUTOBIOGRAPHY OF SANTA CLAUS: </b> <p/>A book that deserves classic status.<br><b>--The Dallas Morning News</b> <p/>Delightful.<br><b>--Memphis Commercial Appeal</b> <p/>Charming.<br><b>--The Kansas City Star</b> <p/><b>The Autobiography of Santa Claus</b> is a great tale with an intriguing premise.

CLAUS SAVED CHRISTMAS</b>), but I felt this one was the best. This was such a fun book to read. While the earlier books were based more on events in history, this one is set in the present. There were so many references to things common to us now - PlayStation 3, CD burners, MP3 players and iPods. Oprah and Randy, Paula and Simon from <i>American Idol </i>made guest appearances. It was fun to see Santa adapt to the 21st century!<br><b>--Lynne's Little Corner of the World</b> <p/><b>HOW MRS.

Whether it's reading through 17 centuries of Santa's autobiography peppered with Christmas magic, discovering how Mrs. Claus and a group of people saved Christmas from being extinct or hopping onto a sleigh ride 'through the history of Christmas in America', reading the book will bring Santa's infectious good cheer into your Yuletide festivities.<br><b>--Time Out</b> <p/>All three books are excellent volumes and well worth sharing with your children. In fact, Guinn cleverly separates each book into 24 chapters, allowing parents who are so inclined to read them to their children one chapter at a time, beginning on December 1 and finishing on Christmas Eve. I dearly love these books.<br><b>--Evertime Realms</b><br><p/><br></br><p><b> About the Author </b></p></br></br>Jeff Guinn is books editor at the Fort <i>Worth Star-Telegram</i>.
