“This is a true Christmas story! Those who do not believe in the story should read it twice. The second time loud so their ears can hear it, and with their eyes open so they can see it. It is only then that they would realize that this is an amazing, true story. I really enjoy it, especially the story with Santa Claus.”


—Gregory Papanikos, Athens Institute for Education and Research

threads into the fabric of the fable, Tryniecka skillfully creates out of Walmland a setting for her story, where fairy-tale elements embrace reality.”
