Reviews - What do customers think about Jolly Old Santa Claus: Collectors Edition Featuring the Original Story?
 | Jolly Old Santa Claus: Collectors Edition Jan 29, 2008 |
| What a wonderful story and beautiful illustrations! This has become THE defining start of the Christmas season at our house! The rich colors and nostalgic figures delight all ages and transport some of us back to Christmas' past. A bargain at any price! Thanks for the memories!! | | |  | Good Book, But Hardly a "Collector's Edition" Dec 21, 2006 |
| Growing up, "Jolly Old Santa Claus" was a Christmas Eve tradition in my family. And since the one original copy we had growing up still belongs to our parents, my siblings and I were elated to receive copies of this "Collector's Edition" for Christmas. Until we opened the book, that is. Many illustrations have been left out, and the ones that have been included are washed out, airbrushed and cropped and do not begin to do justice to the originals. Although it claims to feature the "Original Story by Sparkie", somehow the magical "Brownies" we always cherished have been transformed into commonplace "Elves" and "Lazy Brownie" has become the more politically correct "Jeepers Elf". What a disappointment! If you remember this book fondly from your childhood, you will be disappointed. If you just want a great story to share with your kids, buy it. It's still one of the best Santa books around. | | |  | Disappointment Nov 17, 2005 |
| This new "Collector's Edition" is nothing like the original as it claims. The pictures look dingy and dark and don't capture the same magic as the orginal book did. I was thoroughly disppointed to see what had been done to it. | | | | A Jolly Old Book About A Jolly Old Chap! Oct 29, 2005 |
| Very sweet and timeless. A classic story of the wonder and magic that only Santa can inspire. It's been around for generations and will continue to be for generations to come. Read it with your little ones - it will become a wonderful holiday tradition! | | | | The first is the best! Oct 22, 2005 |
I have both an original version of Jolly Old Santa Claus (copyright 1959), and a newer edition (1978). I bought a later edition for my nieces, and found the illustrations to be somewhat "fuzzier" and political-corrected. Yes, Santa no longer smokes a pipe, folks!
All in all, all the editions are wonderful, the story changing a bit over the years, but it is for the pictures that one buys this book. I especially remember the pages of Mrs. Santa making cookies (just like the sugar cookies my mom and German grandmother made), the wonderful ornament room, with all the hand-blown and dipped glass balls, and the pillow fight between all the "brownies" after Santa has delivered all the toys and wraps up another Christmas! My 2 sisters and 3 brothers would eagerly sit next to my mom and help point out the story line...Grandpa Brownie falling, Jingles the chief brownie supervising, and Lady Whiskers the cat with her newborn kittens.
This is a book from my childhood, and I hope to read it one day to my grandchildren. George Hinke's illustrations are colorful, detailed and full of imagination. A classic! | | | Write your own review about Jolly Old Santa Claus: Collectors Edition Featuring the Original Story
