    About this ebook

    'Santa Claus's Partner' is a Christmas-themed novel written by Thomas Nelson Page. Livingstone, our protagonist, is a complicated character who is hard to love, but still manages to have people who care for him around him. John Clark, his loyal clerk who receives yearly bonuses, is one of these people. However, it is only when Livingstone becomes so consumed by his work that he forgets it's Christmas Eve that we understand the extent of his need for redemption—and he finds it through a child, adding a heartwarming twist to the story.

    Thomas Nelson Page

    Thomas Nelson Page was an American writer and lawyer, as well as the U.S. Ambassador to Italy during the presidency of Woodrow Wilson. Despite his family’s wealthy lineage—both the Nelson and Page families were First Families of Virginia—Page was raised largely in poverty. Based on his own experiences living on a plantation in the Antebellum South, Page’s writing helped popularize the plantation-tradition genre, which depicted an idealized version of slavery and presented emancipation as a sign of moral decline in society. Page’s best-known works include the short story collections The Burial of the Guns and In Ole Virginia, the latter of which contains the influential story “Marse Chan.” Thomas Nelson Page died in 1922.
