About this ebook

“A Kidnapped Santa Claus is a short story by L. Frank Baum, author of the Oz stories. In it, The Daemons of the caves, resentful of Santa Claus, who rebuffs their attempts to subvert him by temptation, capture him in his sleigh on Christmas Eve and imprison him in their caves. Santa’s helpers: a fairy, pixie, knook, and ryl, finish his deliveries with a few comical mishaps. Assembling a magical army of good beings, the queen of the fairies leads an attempt to rescue Santa Claus from the clutches of the evil Daemons. Published in 1904, the story has a somewhat darker tone than its predecessor, The Life and Adventures of Santa Clause.

    Cute 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.
