This is a great attempt of L. Frank Baum, a well-known author of The Wizard of Oz, to retell a familiar to everyone story about Santa Claus and Christmas. According to this story, Santa Claus lives in the Laughing Valley neighboring on one side with the powerful Forest of Burzee, where fairies live, and on the other side with terrible mountains with the caves of daemons named Selfishness, Envy, Hatred, and Repentance. These daemons do not like Santa Claus naturally and they believe that he is their main rival as he makes people happy and inspired. So on Christmas Eve Selfishness, Envy, Hatred, and Repentance decide to kidnap Santa. No one can imagine what a great tragedy it may turn out for the mankind. Santa's friends realize that not only Santa but all people as well need their help so they try to rescue Santa Claus and save Christmas.
