About Holly Claus

Holly Claus is the heroine of ''Holly Claus The Christmas Princess'' (HarperCollins Children's Books) the beautifully-illustrated and much-heralded new release by Brittney Ryan, author of the best-selling ''The Legend of Holly Claus.''

When young Christopher writes a letter to Santa Claus, he poses a question no one has ever thought to ask before, ''Dear Santa Claus, What do you wish for Christmas?'' Miraculously, Santa's longtime wish comes true, and a baby girl is born — Princess Holly Claus.

But just as the Land of Forever joyously celebrates her arrival, far away an evil is unleashed. A curse is placed on Holly, freezing her heart in ice so her future will be bound by a world of darkness. And with the Gates of Forever now locked, Santa can no longer spread the magic of Christmas to children everywhere. As soon as Holly finds a way to make a daring escape, she begins an astounding journey to the Empire City, determined to free herself and, once and for all, bring back Christmas.

“'The Legend of Holly Claus' will capture the hearts of readers young and old, and eventually go down in history as one of the greatest fairy tales of our generation.” -- Erika Sorocco, Book Review Columnist, The Community Bugle Newspaper.
