Why he sent it to me I don't know. Perhaps it was because, when I was a little chap, my home was way up toward that white north where even the little boys ride in sleds behind reindeer, as they are the only horses they have. Perhaps it was because when I was a young lad I knew Hans Christian Andersen, who surely ought to know, and spoke his tongue. Perhaps it was[5] both. I will ask the editor when I see him. Meanwhile, here was his letter, with Christmas right at the door, and, as I said, I was going on a journey.\u003cbr\u003eI buttoned it up in my great coat along with a lot of other letters I didn't have time to read, and I thought as I went to the depot what a pity it was that my little friend's papa should have forgotten about Santa Claus. We big people do forget the strangest way, and then[6] we haven't got a bit of a good time any more.","brand":"Lost Leaf Publications","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47079390871792,"sku":"2940149015023","price":0.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/2940149015023_p0.jpg?v=1763710973","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/2940149015023","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
