  Christmas Eve—the night of joy, wonder, and magic. But what if the heart of Christmas itself was stolen? In this enchanting yet unexpected tale, L. Frank Baum dares to ask: what happens when Santa Claus disappears? Hidden away in his ice-bound Laughing Valley, Santa has made it his life's work to bring happiness to children across the world. But not everyone welcomes his kindness. Dark forces lurk beyond the cheerful glow of Christmas, and when Santa is taken captive, the very spirit of the holiday hangs in the balance.
  With a touch of mischief, a sprinkle of suspense, and a heartwarming conclusion, Baum crafts a story that challenges the idea of good and evil, reminding us that even the purest intentions can face opposition. It's a tale of courage, cleverness, and the unstoppable force of joy—a Christmas adventure unlike any other.
  A hidden gem from the author of The Wonderful Wizard of Oz, A Kidnapped Santa Claus blends festive charm with unexpected depth. It is a holiday tale not just about presents and merriment, but about the true meaning of giving, the resilience of kindness, and the magic that no chains can contain.

  Xuanzang and his disciples were blocked by the mighty Tongtian River, the abode of the monstrous King of Inspiration, who was eating a boy and a girl as a yearly sacrifice. The monkey and Pigsy transformed into Chen family children and defeated the monster. Terrified of the monk's three protectors, the monster used a river-frozen trick to capture Xuanzang. The monkey had to ask Guanyin for help. Guanyin trapped the monster with a bamboo basket and forced him to revert to his true form of a goldfish. Xuanzang was rescued. A big turtle ferried the pilgrims across the river to repay them for helping him retake his residence from the monster.
