Synopsis:
Excerpt from The Book of Saint Nicholas: Translated From the Original Dutch
Everybody has heard of St. Nicholas, that honest Dutch saint, whom I look upon as having been one of the most liberal, good-natured little fat fellows in the world. But, strange as it may Seem, though everybody has heard, nobody seems to know anything about him.
