Jeremy Seal s journey follows Nicholas s all-conquering expansion west from Turkey to the Crusader ports of Bari and Venice, and thence to 16th century Amsterdam. Seal records his subject s 20th century rebirth in the advertising boardrooms of Manhattan, and his own children s encounter with Santa in his new Lapland home. This high adventure spans early-Christian relics and Italian chicanery to reindeer, chimneys and chocolate coins, in a riveting narrative that combines epic sweep with cameos of childhood innocence. From the nature of belief to the settling of modern America, this is an extraordinary tale, triumphantly told. *** Quantity Available: 5. Category: Biography & Autobiography; ISBN: 0330438441.
