A Captured Santa Claus by Thomas Nelson Page

A Captured Santa Claus by Thomas Nelson Page

This is an unexpectedly touching story. In the midst of the Civil War, a Confederate officer gets home to his family at Christmas and is gravely troubled by how meager the holiday was for his children. Over the next year, he strives at every turn to find the presents his children had hoped for the year before. But how is he supposed to slip across enemy lines to reach his house with his Christmas presents? This is a story about surprising humanity and compassion in the midst of the United States’ bitterest war. Thank you to the top Amazon reviewer who recommended it to me.
