Sinopse

In "The Story of Santa Klaus: Told for Children of All Ages from Six to Sixty," William S. Walsh weaves a rich narrative that explores the enchanting folklore surrounding Santa Claus, drawing upon various cultural traditions and historical anecdotes. The literary style is both whimsical and didactic, appealing to a broad audience while simultaneously imparting moral lessons that resonate with the spirit of generosity and kindness. Walsh's synthesis of myth and storytelling not only entertains but also invites readers to reflect on the deeper meanings embedded in the Christmas lore, highlighting the evolution of the Santa Claus figure from St. Nicholas to the modern icon we recognize today. William S. Walsh, an accomplished author and historian, was deeply influenced by his own childhood experiences and the folklore passed down through generations. His scholarly approach to storytelling reflects a keen interest in cultural narratives and their implications on societal values. Walsh'Äôs background in literature and his familiarity with the traditions surrounding Christmas provide a rich context for this delightful retelling, ensuring that the spirit of Santa Klaus is presented with both reverence and creativity. I highly recommend this charming book to readers of all ages who wish to rediscover the magic of Christmas through the eyes of a master storyteller. Whether for families looking to share holiday traditions or individuals seeking a deeper understanding of Santa Claus's cultural significance, Walsh's engaging narrative serves as a delightful reminder of the joy and warmth this season brings.

    Watchbird by Robert Sheckley - The goal was to eliminate murder. It worked perfectly in the beginning, but then... 
    When Gelsen entered, he saw that the rest of the watchbird manufacturers were already present. There were six of them, not counting himself, and the room was blue with expensive cigar smoke. 
    "Hi, Charlie," one of them called as he came in. 
    The rest broke off conversation long enough to wave a casual greeting at him. As a watchbird manufacturer, he was a member manufacturer of salvation, he reminded himself wryly. Very exclusive. You must have a certified government contract if you want to save the human race. 
    "The government representative isn't here yet," one of the men told him. "He's due any minute." 
    "We're getting the green light," another said. 
    "Fine." Gelsen found a chair near the door and looked around the room. It was like a convention, or a Boy Scout rally. The six men made up for their lack of numbers by sheer volume. The president of Southern Consolidated was talking at the top of his lungs about watchbird's enormous durability. The two presidents he was talking at were grinning, nodding, one trying to interrupt with the results of a test he had run on watchbird's resourcefulness, the other talking about the new recharging apparatus. 
    The other three men were in their own little group, delivering what sounded like a panegyric to watchbird. 
    Gelsen noticed that all of them stood straight and tall, like the saviors they felt they were. He didn't find it funny. Up to a few days ago he had felt that way himself. He had considered himself a pot-bellied, slightly balding saint. 
    HE sighed and lighted a cigarette. At the beginning of the project, he had been as enthusiastic as the others. He remembered saying to Macintyre, his chief engineer, "Mac, a new day is coming. Watchbird is the Answer." And Macintyre had nodded very profoundly—another watchbird convert.
