Re: Holiday Collections show and tell?



It looks as if you may have to rewrite the page for December 24. Recently, literary analysis has suggested that the author of "A Visit from Saint Nicholas" is probably Henry Livingston rather than Clement C. Moore. This has been suspected for years, but while there is no documentary proof, Livingston's authorship is really strongly implied by a study of both the writings and the characters of the two men. Details of this study are available in a new book by Donald W. Foster, called _Author unknown : tales of literary detection_.
