This newest retelling of the Christmas classic blends Santa Claus with the traditional Pennsylvania Dutch figure of the Belsnickel, a thin, cantankerous old man visits children before Christmas and rewards, or punishes, them based on their behaviour. The fun begins Christmas Eve when the Belsnickel arrives on an old-fashioned plow driven by cows and steers. Havoc and humour erupt when the holiday load proves a little too heavy for the farmer's roof. The distinctive Pennsylvania Dutch dialect and the hilarious antics of the crotchety Belsnickel will make this a Christmas tale your family will enjoy reading again and again. Chet Williamson is an award-winning author and an authority on the Pennsylvania Dutch Country. His works have appeared in The New Yorker, Esquire, and many other magazines and anthologies.
