Mrs. Claus made her debut on the written page in 1849. Over the past two centuries, as this literary and pictorial review discovered, the Christmas character was continually reimagined for juvenile and adult works of fiction, in poetry, lyrics and for musical, theatrical and film productions. This publication is the first to extensively chronicle Mrs. Claus, as presented and published through the years.

Discover the enchanting Mrs. Claus & learn about the creative talents who brought the character to life over the past two centuries. The author shares hundreds of references to the character offering the reader insights into what makes Mrs. Claus the first lady of Christmas.

A perfect gift for any lover of literature, the history of beloved characters, and of course, the holidays.
