Auteur: Helen Siiteri

Helen Siiteri adapted the Christmas tale from The Life and Adventures of Santa Claus by Julie Lane when, between jobs as an actress, she was hired as a storyteller in the New York Public Library. Later on, she told her own version to her five children until the story became a favorite family tradition. The next step was to publish her adaptation in paperback until the book was finally placed “out of print.” It is brought to you now after family and friends wore out their original copies and demanded a new printing to pass on to the next generation. With their children now grown, the author lives happily ever after with her husband, Pentti, in Sonoma, California.
