This week, we feature a holiday treasure centered on Mrs. Claus and the little-known short story that brought George Bailey’s “wonderful life” to a famous film director’s attention.

‘Wondrous Mrs. Claus: A Literary & Pictorial Review of the Christmas Character’
By Pamela McCollHere’s a beauty of a book for North Pole fans. It includes over 50 pages of poems and stories, many from the 19th century, about Santa’s wife. Plus, it includes the author’s remarks and commentary on her history. McColl also points to movies, songs, and stage presentations centered on Mrs. Claus. Equally fine are the many lovely illustrations taken from books, magazines, and the world of art. It’s a fun-filled holiday entertainment worth keeping and breaking out each December to share with others.
