Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from The Saint Nicholas Gift: For Little Boys and Girls
"Oh children come look, for St. Nicholas sure
Has emptied his pack on the floor,
Here are dolls, ships and horses, tin soldiers and drums,
Fine playthings, a dozen or more.
"But pray do you see no square, gilt, little book?
Our old friend has not surely forgot,
Pray lift them all softly, and carefully look -
Did you ever behold such a lot?
"Ah, here I have found it, St. Nicholas Gift
For Christmas and happy New Year,
The date Eighteen Hundred and Forty-Seven,
Sit down quickly and read it, my dear."
