Saint Nicholas has probably had a more fundamental impact on our culture than any other saint, and yet is the least understood in terms of his real story and meaning. Children of all ages will thoroughly enjoy hearing about or reading tales of the real life of Saint Nicholas. This is a book that will help children understand that Santa was once a regular person who lived in the world, whose love of children, and whose desire to help others was so strong that centuries after his death, he "lives on" in the hearts and actions of millions of people. This book is the latest among several works that Anne E. Neuberger has written for children. Her short stories, articles, and award-winning columns appear in various publications. She has given numerous workshops to parents, teachers, librarians, and children.
