Produktbeschreibung
In a land where Christmas was essentially a social holiday, a man who had turned his back on his neighbors was awakened to the importance of "sharing your life without expectation." Jonathon Syzmoor began a partnership with the man known as Saint Nicholas, who frequently made requests on behalf of those in need. Because these services were provided anonymously, Jonathon became known through legend as "The Woodsman." When Jonathon grew too old to continue to serve these requests, his grandson accepted the Woodsman's Staff, thereby continuing the work Jonathon started. Andrew's son, Abram, continued the family legacy, however his service was different, often traveling beyond the boundaries of Scandinavia. When Abram died, while in service to Saint Nicholas, the staff passed to a new Woodsman and a new family, Jameson Thorpe in Namsskogan, Norway. Each of these men shared their lives without expectation, but not always without question.
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.
