Nicholas Claus

Nicholas Claus is the story of how a boy becomes the Santa of legend. This is a children's story that parents will enjoy too -- a mix of magic, suspense, comedy, romance, and adventure. Nick is a poor boy with a generous heart. When a girl named Anna arrives in his forest village, he is smitten. But she is entering high society and discouraged from having anything to do with the lowly woodsman. Nick is steered away from romance by his best friend, Blitzen, a reindeer...and by his guardian, an old, blind wizard. Remoh tells Nick about a mystical test that occurs every 77 years, giving someone a chance to gain magical powers. Mysterious obstacles thwart Nick and Anna at every turn, including a threat to their lives from a shadowy villain who wants to pass the test for his own glory. Nick and Anna must join together to prevail...but can they do it in time?
