Everyone knows Santa Claus, a kind Christmas grandfather, a great friend of all children and adults. But did you know that he wasn't always like this? Once upon a time, the great wizard Santa Claus was a child himself! Lyman Frank Baum, a classic of children's literature, tells the true story of his life: from childhood in the enchanted forest to his first toys, travels around the world and a real battle for goodness and justice. The famous artist Vadim Chelak gave this story a new image – his bright, kind, lively illustrations perfectly reflect its spirit and embody the characters of the book.
