Editorial Reviews

A collection of humorous Christmas tales by James Kirke Paulding (1778-1860), a contemporary and associate of Washington Irving. The five stories are presented as translations from the original Dutch by a fictitious author and focus on Saint Nicholas, a 16th century Dutch Protestant baker who miraculously befriends those who uphold Dutch traditions and sets straight those who are mean or given to "newfangled notions." 5x7".
