review:
'The Boy Who Lived in Pudding Lane: Being a True Account, If Only You Believe It, of the Life and Ways of Santa, Oldest Son of Mr. and Mrs. Claus' by Sarah Addington with illustrations by Gertrude Kay was originally published in Ladies Home Journal in 1921. It's a fun story to read with a Christmas theme.

Little Santa lives with his mother, the baker and his father, the carpenter, in Pudding Lane with all kinds of fairy tale neighbors. Little Santa has some fun adventures, but what he really likes is making things and giving them to his friends. His parents are concerned that he won't be able to buy a house or food, but it's just possible that there is someone in this fairy tale land who can make it happen for him. Along the way, we find out how he met Mrs. Claus, too.

It's a sweet story that feels a bit dated, but in a nostalgic way that makes it perfect for a winter's night. The illustrations are full color and my only complaint is that I wished there had been more of them. I loved
