erry Christmas! And, here’s a free downable copy of banned author L. Frank Baum’s The Life and Adventures of Santa Claus for your virtual stocking.

So, rest assured there are plenty of whimsical characters, magical happenings, and daring adventures to satisfy the imagination of any reader. It’s about Santa Claus, after all.
You’re probably no stranger to Baum’s name because he also wrote The Wizard of Oz series. Which was banned because of its strong female characters in leadership roles, among other things.
And, if you are familiar with the works of L. Frank Baum, you’re likely aware that Elphaba’s name (yet another strong female character in the Oz-inspired Wicked) is a play on his moniker: L-F-Ba, get it?
Whether you celebrate Christmas, or one of the other wonderful holidays that take place this time of year, enjoy this seasonally specific work by banned author L. Frank Baum.
