The Life and Adventures of Santa Claus (Yesterday's Classics)

<p>Draw close to the fire all you who believe in the spirit of Christmas whether you call it Santa Claus or simply good will to men; and listen to the story of Nicholas the Wandering Orphan who became Nicholas the Wood-carver a lover of little children. Follow him through his first years as a lonely little boy who had the knack of carving playthings for children; then as a young man busy over the little toys; then as a prosperous fat rosy old man who overcomes all sorts of difficulties in order to attain his ambition a toy for every child in the village. Learn how he started to drive a beautiful sleigh drawn by prancing reindeer; why he first came down a chimney; how he filled the first stocking; where the first Christmas tree was decorated; and finally how he came to be known as "Saint Nicholas" and "Santa Claus."</p>
