Lill's Travels in Santa Claus Land, and Other Stories

A set of whimsical short stories for children centers on a young girl’s imaginative visit to a fantastical Santa Claus Land. She slips through a high gate rung by a bell, discovers a courtyard with a fountain of sweets, and wanders gardens where toys, dolls, and soldiers are cultivated like plants. A kindly figure who tends the grounds guides her past groves of doll clothes, a park of reindeer, a town of model houses, and a cozy, half-packed house where preparations for gift-giving quietly continue, presenting a playful, domestic vision of how toys and holiday wonders are made and cared for.
