Very much in the style of L. Frank Baum ( The Wizard of Oz), this story shows that Harry Potter was not the first remarkably popular world hit in junior literature. A Kidnapped Santa Claus, a fun fantasy, is actually a continuation of the first novel Baum wrote in this vein, The Life and Adventures of Santa Claus. In it, he charts his hero's life from a foundling in the forest to becoming all children's favorite uncle. This story, though, has the advantage of brevity.

Frank Baum (of The Wizard of Oz fame), we see members of high society suddenly engaging in activities they wouldn't normally have anything to do with. There was a reason for their change, but for those who didn't know the reason, the men's actions seemed disgraceful. A tale that seems to encourage the old adage "walk a mile in another man's shoes."

Frank Baum - creator of the Oz stories - could tell with his adventure-tipped and action-filled pen.
