He's Father Christmas in Britain; he's Santa Claus here. But no matter what you call him, you'll never catch a better glimpse of the dear old elf than you will in these pages.For British artist Raymond Briggs--in a cartoon format so vibrant that it seems to prance on the page--has given us a marvelously endearing Santa, dreaming of sunny, tropical holidays, wakened by an alarm clock in his freezing Arctic lair, fondling his cat, feeding his reindeer, muttering over gloomy radio forecasts of ice, sleet, and snow, struggling into his boots, and packing his sleigh with presents for Christmas Eve.He's at his most hilarious when he's grumbling ("blooming soot! blooming chimneys! blooming snow!"). Yet he carefully makes sure not to overlook a single family on his route--not even the royal residents at Buckingham Palace!At last, he returns home to Christmas carols on the radio, a hot steamy bath, some Christmas presents of his own, and a big turkey dinner.Not since Mr. Pickwick brightened up the Yuletide festivities in Dingley Dell about a hundred and forty years ago has a spirit as genial as Raymond Briggs's Father Christmas appeared.
