Miracle on 34th Street by Valentine Davies. 5 stars★ and love it!♥♥♥

This may be my favorite Christmas book. I love the original movie and watch it every year. I was not aware that Davies wrote this little story first. My family and I didn't know about it's history. Even my grandpa doesn't recall that (but due to the fact of being to busy working than reading and watching movies at that time). My kindle edition gave a historical note at the end and it was nice to learn about how the story and movie came to life.

Being that I know the movie nearly by heart, reading the book was very fun. It is written more in 3rd person and has less dialogue content than I expected. But being that I know the story so well, imagining how the character's dialogue and such was good. Valentine Davies' story is a very nice feel-good one that reminds us of the true meaning of Christmas - miracles, faith and joy without the commercialism.

The movie stays close to true to Davies' book. There is a couple editions that aren't found in the movie. And just that added bit of detail is interesting. This is more heartwarming than the movie I think. And I'm almost tempted to reading it again straight away. I didn't want it to end.

"Robert Giroux [(book's editor)] wrote to Davies after first reading the story: “We editors simply think that this is the best Christmas story since Charles Dickens’ A Christmas Carol.”"

Miracle on 34th Street edition by Valentine Davies Children eBooks Reviews

I like to watch a movie and then read the book to see how they differ. Conversely, read a book and then watch the movie. This was a total rip for $7.00. The book was virtually a line-by-line transcript of the movie ... which I watched 30 minutes previous. There should be a warning of issues of this type so people know it will not be a fulfilling experience.
Do you believe? Is it possible maybe that somewhere the belief of little children, and no longer young children, have created a Santa Claus? What would it hurt if we all believed? Not just in a man in a red suit but in everything he is and stands for. I believe. Do you?
Reading this book was almost as good as watching the movie. There was a tone to the book that didn't come up to the tone of the original movie or its 1980s remake (my preferred versions). I can't quite put my finger on what the missing element is that prevents me from fully embracing this written story, although I can say it feels too neat; too orderly. There's an abruptness to it that doesn't exist in the movies, and perhaps a bit of magic, too.
Even so, a very enjoyable read for those who love Christmas stories.
I found an original copy when I was ten years old at a book sale and loved it dearly. I hadn't seen the original film version which this book is written from, I had only seen the 1973 version at that time. It is just as wonderful as the movie, verbatim. If you loved the movie, you will love the book. If you've never heard of it then this book is about the skepticism of a mother and daughter in regards to love and a belief in Santa Claus. The mother hires Santa Claus during the Macy's Thanksgiving Day parade and he continues that job at the store until there is some question about his sanity, because of his insistence that he is Santa Claus. Fred, a young attorney who is in love with the mother, represents Santa in court to prove that he is who he says he is. Is it silly and sappy, yes. Christmas stories are allowed to be overwhelmingly sentimental because that is the time of year when we hope faith is restored. Good for families to read together.
Everyone who has ever seen the original 1947 movie Miracle on 34th Street (we don't like the remakes) knows the basic plot of this book. Kris Kringle is an elderly gentleman who lives at the Maplewood Home for the Aged in New York City, NY. When the Santa hired for Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade shows up drunk, Doris Walker, the somewhat frosty, divorced Personnel Director at Macy's, hires Kris to take his place, and Mr. Shellhammer, Head of the Toy Department, suggests that she keep Kris for the permanent job of Santa at Macy's Department on 34th St., where he creates a lot of good will which even owner R. H. Macy notices.
Kris even affects Doris's daughter, six-year-old Susan, who has been brought up by her disillusioned mother to be as matter-of-fact as herself, and their neighbor and Doris's would-be boyfriend Fred Gailey, a lawyer with whom Kris moves in. Everything is going well until people begin to find out that Kris actually believes that he is the real Santa Claus. So the Macy's company psychologist, Albert Sawyer, who dislikes Santa Claus anyway, decides to have Kris committed to Bellevue insane asylum and does so secretly without Doris's knowledge. When he learns about it, Fred petitions for a court hearing to decide Kris's sanity and determines to have him declared sane. What will happen in court? And how will Susan react? Of course, those who have watched the film know the answer to those questions.
Some people have complained that this is a mere "novelization" of the movie. Sometimes an existing book is made into a movie, and sometimes an existing movie is "novelized" into a book. What happened in the case of Miracle on 34th Street is not so clear. Author Valentine Davies (1905-1961) was a Hollywood screenwriter, but if I understand it correctly, he first wrote it in story form around 1944, then later submitted it to Twentieth Century-Fox, where it was turned into a film. It was decided to publish a book to coincide with the release of the film, so Davies reworked his story, fleshing it out with material from the screenplay. There are some noticeable differences between the movie and the book, but the basic plot is the same. The only objectionable items in the novel are one use of the "d" word, one appearance of the term "Good Lord" as an interjection, and the fact that Fred smokes a pipe. Otherwise, it is a really cute story.
