Teaser Tuesday: The Life and Adventures of Santa Claus

Teaser Tuesdays is a weekly bookish meme, hosted by MizB of Should Be Reading.

To participate, just do the following:
  • Grab your current read.
  • Open to a random page.
  • Share two (2) "teaser" sentences from somewhere on that page. (I always cheat and use more than 2!)
  • BE CAREFUL NOT TO INCLUDE SPOILERS!
  • Share the title & author, too, so that other TT participants can add the book to their TBR lists if they like your teasers!
My teaser this week is from The Life and Adventures of Santa Claus by L. Frank Baum:
Therefore, one year when the wicked tribe was to elect a new King, they chose an Awgwa who proposed to destroy Claus and take him away from the children.
"There are, as you know, fewer naughty children in the world since Claus came to the Laughing Valley and began to make his toys," said the new King, as he squatted upon a rock and looked around at the scowling faces of his people.

  1. I re-read this last year around this time; it's one of my favourite seasonal reads. I'm thinking of re-visiting his Oz stories next year...

  3. I just started this one for the first time. I've read The Wonderful Wizard of Oz (but none of the sequels), and I LOVED it, so when I heard of this book I thought I'd give it a whirl. Definitely enjoying it so far!

  6. It seems like all I'm reading lately is seasonal stuff! It's because I'm doing the Christmas Spirit Reading Challenge. :)
