Adults, Seniors, Teens. Celebrated expert on the histories of magic, science, and drama, Dr. Walker traces the surprising evolution of Santa Claus—from a fourth-century bishop known for his charity, to the jolly, red-suited icon of global consumer culture today, exploring how folklore, literature, advertising, and politics shaped the figure we know as Santa Claus.
