Summary
And Thus He Came: A Christmas Fantasy is a set of short stories with a Christmas theme written by Cyrus Townsend Brady. Brady was a reporter, historian and adventure writer. Excerpt: "The employees had all gone home, carrying with them Christmas checks and hearty greetings from the great man whose beck and nod they followed. He sat in his private office absolutely alone. He had some serious matters to consider and did not want any interruptions. His balance-sheet for the year had been made up according to the custom of the firm before Christmas instead of on New Year's Day. He examined it again. It showed tremendous profit. The mills were turning out quantities of material, the demand for which was greater and the cost of production less than ever before."
