Throughout his
career, Harry B. Knights has written so that his ideas “transmit from my mind
through the remote media of a book to the minds of children and families.” He
achieves this through his concentration on Saint Nicholas and his origins. The
first of the Nicholas Stories series began with a college writing assignment in
1970.
Parents and grandparents know well that timeless
tales generate endless questions about our holiday traditions, such as “Where
did Saint Nicholas come from?” “How does he visit so many children in just
one night?” “Why does he leave gifts for girls and boys?” The Nicholas
Stories series answers these questions about Christmas in a way that shares the
true special spirit of the holiday.
The
Boy with a Wish: The Nicholas Stories #1, Nicholas, whose simple gift of
love is seen by angels, wishes for a lasting reward that affects the world
forever. In Mr. Knights' second book, The First Flight of Saint Nicholas: The Nicholas Stories #2,
Nicholas discovers a group of elves who cannot get along and soon helps them
find a way to work together to fulfill the wishes of children all over the
world. The Maiden Voyage of Kris Kringle: The Nicholas Stories #3
offers readers Mr. Knights' story of how young Kris Kringle became Mrs. Claus.
In Luigi and the Lost Wish: The Nicholas Stories #4, Nicholas
teaches the miracle of forgiveness when one elf loses a child's wish list.
Nicholas and those who help him have become a world of their own.
Harry B. Knights enjoys traveling the country, speaking
with teachers, students, and people from all walks of life, and lives with his
wife, Christine, in
