Jason Green's Reviews > The Saint Who Would Be Santa Claus: The True Life and Trials of Nicholas of Myra

There is no doubt that Saint Nicholas did exist and that he was a faithful, God-fearing man. He was a defender of those who could not defend themselves. But more importantly, he was a fearless defender of Christianity. While this book gives great detail about Saint Nicholas and even explains how the current popular image of Santa Claus came to be, it doesn't do a great job of connecting the two. I would love to see a follow-up about the birth of the modern Santa Claus and how he came to be connected with Saint Nicholas.
