This is the story of Santa Claus from a holy man in Asia Minor to the Santa Claus we know today. It is intended for all the children who have come to doubt there is a Santa and for anyone who wants to believe. About the Author Carl Fest has lived in Europe and speaks German. He is also a native of Pennsylvania; so much of what he knows about the story comes from his experiences in both places. Fest is currently a retired grandfather of two.
