Miracle on 34th Street - Hardcover

A fascimile edition of the classic story, originally published in 1947, beautifully recreates the story of three people whose lives are forever changed by a man who insists that he is Santa Claus and includes details of how the book came about, and how it was made into a wonderful film. 30,000 first printing.

A white-bearded gentleman who appears at the Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade fills in for an unfit Santa Claus-and is asked to become the store's resident Santa. This Kris Kringle believes he is Santa, as do children from all over the city, and reindeer at the zoo nearby. A few skeptical souls try to have him declared insane, but miraculously, the State of New York, with the help of the U.S. Postal Service, come to the gent's rescue by declaring that he is indeed Santa Claus.

Since its first publication in 1947, this tale has been treasured by generations of believers, making this Academy Award-winning story part of holiday traditions all across America. This facsimile edition faithfully re-creates the first hardcover publication, inviting new families or readers to celebrate both the story and the charm of the original design.

A brief historical note, new in this edition, details the simultaneous development of the book and film.
