This book is a compilation of several other works, pulled together under the umbrella title of The Childen's Christmas Story MEGAPACK®. It includes the complete text of "The Children's Book of Christmas Stories," selected and edited by Asa Don Dickinson and Ada M. Skinner (originally published in 1913) to which we have added "The Life and Adventures of Santa Claus," by L Frank Baum (originally published in 1902), and the poems "'Twas The Night Before Christmas," by Clement C. Moore (originally published in 1823 under the title "A Visit from St. Nicholas." Plus — as much for parents as children — an amusing sequel, "The Night After Christmas," which was published anonymously. Included are:
