A Kidnapped Santa Claus
''A Kidnapped Santa Claus'' is a Christmas-themed short story written by L. Frank Baum, famous as the creator of the Land of Oz; it has been called "one of Baum's most beautiful stories"〔Michael O'Neal Riley, ''Oz and Beyond: The Fantasy World of L. Frank Baum'', Lawrence, KS, University Press of Kansas, 1997; p. 112.〕 and constitutes an influential contribution to the mythology of Christmas.
"A Kidnapped Santa Claus" was first published in the December 1904 edition of ''The Delineator'', the women's magazine that would print Baum's ''Animal Fairy Tales'' in the following year. The magazine text was "admirably illustrated" with "pen drawings of marked originality"〔Henry Turner Bailey, ed., ''The School Arts Book'', Vol. 4, Worcester, MA, Davis Publications, 1905; p. 299.〕 by Frederick Richardson, who would illustrate Baum's ''Queen Zixi of Ix'' in 1905.
==Baum's mythology==
"A Kidnapped Santa Claus" was published two years after Baum's ''The Life and Adventures of Santa Claus'' (1902), and shares its mythological cosmos: in the story as in the novel, Santa lives in the Laughing Valley on the border of the Forest of Burzee, and is assisted by knooks, ryls, fairies, and pixies. In modern editions the two works, novel and story, are sometimes published together.〔L. Frank Baum, ''The Complete Life and Adventures of Santa Claus'', Holicong, PA, Wildside Press, 2002.〕〔L. Frank Baum, ''L. Frank Baum's Book of Santa Claus'', Radford, VA, Wilder Publications, 2007.〕
Though the short story has strong similarities with the novel, it has been interpreted as presenting "a less rosy view" of the world,〔Katharine M. Rogers, ''L. Frank Baum, Creator of Oz: A Biography'', New York, St. Martin's Press, 2002; p. 102.〕 in that it shows elements of evil as fundamental to existence and ineradicable.
