The Christmas stories you never heard as a kid.

Claus: Legend of the Fat Man

In the early 1800s, Nicholas, Jessica, and Jon Santa attempt the first human trek to the North Pole and stumble upon an ancient race of people left over from the Ice Age. They are short, fat, and hairy. They slide across the ice on scaly soles and carve their homes in the ice that floats on the Arctic Ocean. The elven are adapted to life in the extreme cold. They are as wise as they are ancient.

Their scientific advancements have yielded great inventions - time-stopping devices and gravitational spheres that build living snowmen and genetically modified reindeer that leap great distances. They've even unlocked the secrets to aging. For 40,000 years, they have lived in peace.

Until now.

An elven known as The Cold One has divided his people. He's tired of their seclusion and wants to conquer the world. Only one elven stands between The Cold One and total chaos. He's white bearded and red coated. The Santa family will help him stop The Cold One. They will come to the aid of a legendary elven known as...Claus.

Jack: The Tale of Frost

Sura is 16 years old when she meets Mr. Frost. He's very short and very fat, and he likes his room very, very cold. Some might say inhumanly cold. His first name isn't Jack, she's told. And that's all she needs to know.

Mr. Frost's love for Christmas is over the top and slightly psychotic. And why not? He's made billions of dollars off the holiday he invented. Or so he claims. Rumor is he's an elven, but that's silly. Elven aren't real.

Narrator is meh

Narrator is not good. Every sentence is made a STATEMENT. I had to return it after only a couple of chapters

A bit confusing

It was a bit confusing trying to keep all the characters straight.
The narrator read the story at a good pace, but keeping the change in voice to which character was a challenge.

All of it

I liked the whole story it was so good and I loved the way it was written

Absolutely loved!

Great holiday spin-read originally bc my teen was reading it as a Christmas gift. We both loved it! Trying to decide if I should save boxed 2 for next Christmas!

interesting twist

I found the story captivating, narration was wonderful helping the story come alive. a must read

loved it all

Very imaginative and well told. I hung on every word and couldn't wait to stay the next book!

Great series to read during the holidays!

Great imagination!! Loved the storyline. Great ending to every story. Can’t wait to read the next set in the series.

Interesting story, hard to listen to

The narrator was boring and hard to listen to. I struggled to get to the end.

Disappointment

This story was very confusing hard to follow. The narrator was just bad and I think part of the confusion was because of the narration how it was read. I don’t know if I’ll finish this several hours in.

3 for 1 of a Classic

What did you love best about Claus Boxed?

That's it's a three for one ( one credit instead of 3 ) for a wonderful trilogy. I was just going to get the first book to see if I liked it then the "three for one" idea hit me! ( Duh )
Turned out I loved all three in the series.

What did you like best about this story?

Take about imagination! The author has created a whole new fantasy world and a whole new take on Santa, Jack Frost and others. This is not just a book for kids, in fact they will love it but miss a lot of the subtlety....like Harry Potter.

Which character – as performed by James Killavey – was your favorite?

Jack...although he did a great job with all of them.

If you were to make a film of this book, what would the tag line be?

Claus and Friends
