Since I can't afford to buy the book (not to mention the fact that I've been unable to locate it), I popped into the library and, lo and behold, successfully grabbed a copy of The Life and Adventures of Santa Claus. Unfortunately, it is not a reproduction of the anime, but a translation of the novel itself. Fortunately, there are a few pictures throughout and I now present them for you. This is, of course, the front cover.
Up next is the first page and I'm sorry, I'm not going to translate it for you. I have too much on my plate right now to take the time, but as I'd mentioned before, you can always go to Gutenberg.
This little lady must be the protagonist, Mary. (from Chapter 2)
A Cougar, a Chipmunk & a Mouse. (from Chapter 10)
I'm guessing a princess. (from Chapter 14)
The most depressed reindeer I've ever seen, an angrier reindeer (トナカイ or tonakai in Japanese), a flowery leopard, a chubby owl and a couple of sparrows. (from Chapter 15)
Santa as a boy? with a cat on his shoulder. (from Chapter 19)
Manto = Old man winter?. (from Chapter 20)
For purists, the copyright information of the book.
The back cover and also an interior picture from Chapter 8.I managed to write out the Chapter headings. If I get around to it, I'll translate them.

..where can i download the japanese version of the story??
did u manage to find the full episodes??
Unfortunately, I have never found the book nor videos in the used shops. I am NO expert in downloading, so your best bet is to google it. You may have better luck if you use the Japanese title, 少年サンタの大冒険 .
