Wondrous Mrs. Claus: A Literary & Pictorial Review of the Christmas Character

By Pamela McColl
Here’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.
