Mister Ron's Basement #1463

We are featuring stories about Editors this week!

Anybody who ever had to submit something to an editor should appreciate this truly funny 1899 story by Charles Battell Loomis, 'The Father of Santa Claus.'

By the way, the Ford mentioned in this story is obviously not Henry, but James L. Ford, columnist for the New York Herald, who usually referred to his writing as 'The Literary Shop.'

Time: approx seven and a half minutes

It is that time of year again! If you are looking for Washington Irving's 'Legend of Sleepy Hollow' then Click Here. It's Episode #174.
