Produktbeschreibung
The Woodsmen of Saint Nicholas have been ordinary people who answered an extraordinary call, to help people find the True Spirit of Christmas year round. They shared their lives without expectation. Arthur Thorpe was the fifth in this unusual lineage. His story begins in Norway, son of the fourth Woodsman. As a young man he read about problems in America, following the first world war. Believing he could make a difference, he came to the United States of America. This journal chronicles not only his efforts to help a weary land but also his hunger to explore the vast reaches of a remarkable country. During an age when selfless service was sorely needed, yet not easily found, Arthur found adventure, romance, heartache, and opportunity beyond his expectations.
Autorenporträt
E. Gale Buck is an author of "hidden" talent who touches lives every day. Author of over 200 short stories, and traveling off the "beaten path," his stories range from magical and uplifting to suspenseful and thought provoking. Playing the Great Highland Bagpipes, he was band director, solo competitor, dance piper, and shared enchanting music and stories of the mystical Highlands of Scotland in public schools and campgrounds. A champion oral storyteller, he frequently shares stories he found "floating on the wind." As the thirteenth Woodsman of Saint Nicholas, he shares the True Magic of Christmas and the lives of his predecessors who changed the lives of countless men, women, and children. His written works include wondrous mysteries of Scotland (Vrenessbith), a collection on the True Magic of Christmas, the realms of magic surrounding dragons and wizards (Treasured Adversaries), and an in-depth tale of how time affects, or upsets, our daily lives (The Thirstday Cognizance Brigade). New stories are always being developed, however his favorite subject for writing and storytelling is the magic that surrounds us in our everyday lives.
