SANTA: A LIFE

Book • 2007
Jeremy Seal follows the epic journey of Saint Nicholas, a Byzantine bishop from Myra in modern-day Turkey, whose acts of charity evolved him into the world's most enduring saint and Santa Claus.

Travelling from Turkey to Italy, Germany, the US, and Finland, Seal explores relics, cultural transformations, Crusader ports, and 20th-century advertising rebirths, weaving in his family's encounters with Santa in Lapland.
