These two original not quite children’s stories are intended mainly for bigger kids and grownups. They are blends of sensitivity and satire, good humor, the beauty of the land, and substantial characters. They introduce us to an interesting more-dimensional Santa, to a far northern forest we will never forget, a Rudolph beyond sweetness and sleigh, and a Christmas morning seen from below the Christmas Tree, as it should be.These stories are just for fun; their turnabouts, much like those so common in real life, are a rollercoaster ride for us to enjoy.Illustrated in full color.
