The Christmas Chronicles
The Christmas Chronicles: The Legend of Santa Claus | Tim Slover
10 posts | 4 read | 3 to read
In this new holiday classic, Tim Slover crafts a marvelous, magical novel about how Santa Claus became the man he is today. After reading The Christmas Chronicles, youll believe all over again in the magic of the season. Snow is falling, and the clock ticks toward midnight on Christmas Eve while countless children, too excited to sleep, anticipate the arrival of Santa Claus. But in Tim Slovers deeply charming and utterly thrilling new novel, thats the end rather than the beginning of the story. In this richly imagined tale of Santas origins, the man in full finally emerges. The Christmas Chronicles is at once an action-packed adventure, an inspiring story of commitment and faith, and a moving love story. It all starts in 1343, when the child Klaus is orphaned and adopted by a craftsmens guild. The boy will grow to become a master woodworker with an infectious laugh and an unparalleled gift for making toys. His talent and generosity uniquely equip him to bestow hundreds of gifts on children at Christmasand to court the delightful Anna, who enters his life on a sleigh driven by the reindeer Dasher and becomes his beloved wife. Still, all is not snowfall and presents. Klaus will be shadowed by the envious Rolf Eckhof, who will stop at nothing to subvert him. But in the end, Santas magic is at last unleashed, flying reindeer come to his aid, and an epic battle between good and evil is waged in the frosty Christmas skies. By turns enchanting, hair-raising, and inspirational, The Christmas Chronicles is a beguiling tale destined to become a holiday favorite for the ages. From the Hardcover edition.

Festive Flick # 13: The Christmas Chronicles

When it comes to Kurt Russell my favorites are still Captain Ron and Overboard, but this was cute.

I just watched this #HolidayMovie on Netflix. I thought it was based on the tagged book, but I was misinformed. Still, it‘s really surprisingly good and I‘d highly recommend it!

I received this last year in a Christmas swap, and it‘s now a tradition to read it every year. It gives a whimsical account of Santa Claus and his origins. It‘s also a movie on Netflix which I‘m going to convince my husband to watch with me ASAP! 5⭐️

This was a lovely, charming tale with parts that got darker than I expected and sadder too. I love tales of how Santa came to be and I found the detailed explanations in this retelling rather unique (mostly). Rolf is definitely the #naughtycharacter in the #winterwonderland that is the true north. #reindeerreads #decktheshelves @Jess7 @Tiffy_Reads @JoeStalksBeck

Starting my annual holiday book rereadathon with this book that seemingly no one has heard of. I grabbed it on a whim many years ago at B&N, and it's been a yearly staple ever since. Have I mentioned that the color of the type is green? 💚

PurpleyPumpkin I read this one quite a while ago and enjoyed it! 🎅🏼 6y
Andrea4 My advent calender told me to go to the lib and pick up an xmas book today and I decided I'll grab this one!! 6y
