He’s also a singer, songwriter, storyteller, and in his early days, a wandering balladeer. He loves to write and tell stories to those who will listen and to sing with those who sing along. He loves to tell stories of the legends of folklore and its heroes and heroines of American history. His favorite character of all is, of course, Santa Claus. The story you will be reading is his first, and from it has sprung others. There’s the story titled Bartholomew to the Rescue and Ollie the Yodeling Elf. Others tell about life at the North Pole. In them, you will get to know Miss L. Toe, Rissabelle the Ice Princess, and many others. Folklore and fairytales have been handed down long before the printed word was published. Generation to generation retell and pass along deeds of great men and women throughout history. Every country and every culture has their own stories and legends passed along in this way. Santa Claus is one legendary icon who is known by just about every culture on the planet. He may go by other names, but the person is the same. He may bring gifts to some on other days than Christmas Eve. Long ago, there was a part of the world that considered Santa Claus to be a woman. The one common bond is that the person we know as Santa Claus brings happiness and joy to all the good children and their families throughout the world. There are those who do not believe, and that’s just fine. Nobody has to believe anything if they don’t want to. My stories are for those who do believe. I hope you enjoy what I have written and will look out for the continuing stories to follow. Thank you. One last thing, as for me and my family, we believe in Santa Claus.
