Almost time to shut up shop.
Bag some beautiful gifts AND help support Indie Publishing.
Hola Fahrenhistas,
It’s almost time to shut up shop for another year.
THIS WEEKEND IS THE LAST WINDOW TO BUY FOR GUARANTEED CHRISTMAS DELIVERY.
So now would be the time to get yourself over to our store and grab something special for yourself or someone you love.
Put yourselves in our hands and let us choose a gift for you - our elves will lovingly wrap it (in christmassy paper) and send it to you (or your nominated recipient) in plenty of time for Christmas.
It might be a paperback, a limited edition hardback, a rare proof copy, a t-shirt, a mug - whatever The Elves happen to pull out of their Secret Santa Sack.
What could be more lovely than that - a delightful Christmas surprise from our elves to your hands?
AND ALL FOR ONLY £7 QUID
Long time Fahrenhistas will know that ever year at Christmas we like to take a break from being hard-bitten noir punk publishers and show you our softer side by publishing something lovely and seasonal.
This year is a total belter, and we’re pretty sure hardly any of you will have heard of it let alone read it.
This year’s Christmas’ Choice is The Life And Adventures of Santa Claus by l. Frank Baum (yeah that’s right, the guy who wrote The Wizard Of Oz)
Step into the enchanting world of L. Frank Baum, the legendary author of The Wonderful Wizard of Oz, with a heartwarming holiday classic, The Life and Adventures of Santa Claus. From the creator whose tales inspired the beloved musical Wicked, this story blends whimsy, magic, and timeless wonder into the origin story of the jolliest figure of all: Santa Claus.
Follow the extraordinary life of Claus, a mortal child raised by magical beings in the mystical Forest of Burzee. Guided by the benevolent Queen Zurline and protected by the immortal Ak, Claus grows to embody kindness and generosity, dedicating his life to bringing joy to children everywhere. From the creation of the first toys to the invention of stockings hung by the chimney, you’ll discover how Santa’s iconic traditions were born—and how he earned his immortal status.
L. Frank Baum’s imaginative storytelling will transport you to a world of magical creatures, courageous deeds, and the enduring spirit of giving. Whether you're a fan of The Wizard of Oz or simply love a holiday tale filled with wonder, this is a must-read for anyone who believes in the magic of Christmas.
Perfect for readers of all ages, The Life and Adventures of Santa Claus is a festive journey you’ll cherish every holiday season.
