I always suspected that Santa Claus had the support and guidance of a good woman, but I'd never heard much about his wife, that is until this CD set landed in my lap. As it turns out, Mrs. Claus is a strong woman with a captivating story that rivals only that of St. Nick. In fact, she was determined to make a difference in the world and gave gifts to the poor and needy for years before she met Nicholas. After she joined forces with Santa, they, along with some of the most significant people who shaped history, really launched the custom we know of as Christmas. The secret behind their ability to go long distances quickly and live incredibly long lives, as well as many other intriguing details are revealed in this holiday tale for the whole family.
When the first signs of a threat to the budding Yuletide tradition occur, Santa is in the New World planting the seeds of Christmas there, while Laila remains behind in England where those pesky Puritans seem bent on taking the fun out of everything, especially Christmas. When a law is passed that actually punishes those who follow this treasured celebration, our holiday heroes spring into action to save the day, literally! Since this saga covering hundreds of years has its roots in the actual events of the day, I felt as if I was experiencing the most appealing history lesson ever on a subject near and dear to my heart! And what's more, once it was over, I wanted to start back at the beginning since there’s so much remarkable detail.
While this is considered a sequel to The Autobiography of Santa Claus, it stands on its own, so you don't need to listen to Santa's story, but you may find yourself utterly compelled to since it's bursting with the same kind of rich historical elements, fascinating facts, and globe-trotting adventure. Those who have already had a taste of Jeff Guinn’s magic will absolutely adore How Mrs. Claus Saved Christmas. In this not-to-be-missed treasure, the foreword is read by Santa himself!
