RELIGION
Mayer, Marianna

The Real Santa Claus

(3) 4-6 Mayer opens with the familiar poem "A Visit from St. Nicholas," but quickly moves from the secular to the religious as she reveals more about Nicholas, the man behind the myth. Engaging prose relates the generosity of the fourth-century bishop and the miracles he performed. Although some appear blurry, reproductions of medieval and Renaissance paintings add stateliness and elegance to the book.
