Klaus transports readers to a mesmerizing past, saturated with myth and magic, unraveling the origins of Santa Claus. It delves into the questions of where Santa began, what he was like in his youth, his motivations, and the methods behind his legendary deeds. The narrative also explores the ultimate challenge he faces, drawing inspiration from the untamed roots of Santa Claus in Viking legends and Siberian shamanism, while delving into the more eerie aspects of Christmas, including encounters with the ominous Krampus. Klaus is essentially a "Santa Claus: Year One" tale that promises an enchanting journey.
