About the book: (from the dust jacket)
The best of the old, the best of the new, the best that is yet to be–that’s how the glittering city of Toyland, home of Santa and Mrs. Claus, is described to Art Atchinson Aimesworth, inventor, crime fighter, and all-around whiz kid, who, with his sister Esther and his pal Spaulding, journeys North by special invitation from Santa himself. But why did Santa call? This truly Joyce-ian crusade features villains and swashbuckling adventure, concluding with a most spectacular and touching Christmas celebration.
A holiday extravaganza like no other by the creator of BENTLY & EGG, DAY WITH WILBUR ROBINSON, DINOSAUR BOB AND HIS ADVENTURES With THE FAMILY LAZARDO, and GEORGE SHRINKS.
