Download or read book A Defective Santa Claus the Original Classic Edition written by James Whitcomb Riley and published by Tebbo. This book was released on 2010-11 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A Defective Santa Claus, describes one of the most beloved traditions of the modern Christmas celebration. The book reminds us of the joy children take in the holiday and the sometimes loving extremes to which parents go to fulfil that anticipation and wonder of Christmas in their children's lives. The book is a poem that tells the tale of children's anticipation of a Christmas Eve visit from Santa Claus "stoked all day long by stories from a favourite uncle," which is the children's father who had conveniently gone into town that day. The visit from Santa Claus turns into a comic-opera when Santa backs into a lighted candle on the tree, setting his suit on fire and is then pushed out into the snow to damp the flames. When this happens the children are quickly hustled off to bed so the now the defective Santa Claus can be properly nursed, so Santa can continue his journey back to the north pole! James Whitcomb Riley was born in Greenfield, Indiana in 1853. He spent several years as an itinerant sign-painter, actor and musician. During this experience he had opportunities to revise plays and compose songs, and was brought into close touch with the rural folk of Indiana, becoming familiar with their life and speech. He wrote, short stories and sketches, some of unusual merit, but is known almost exclusively as a poet. His materials are the homely incidents and aspects of village and country life.

Riley Songs of Home by James Whitcomb Riley is a collection of poems about the midwestern United States. Excerpt: "We must get home! How could we stray like this? - So far from home, we know not where it is, - Only in some fair, apple-blossomy place Of children's faces -and the mother's face - We dimly dream it, till the vision clears Even in the eyes of fancy, glad with tears. We must get home -for we have been away So long, it seems forever and a day! And O so very homesick we have grown, The laughter of the world is like a moan In our tired hearing, and its song as vain, - We must get home -we must get home again!" James Whitcomb Riley (October 7, 1849 - July 22, 1916) was an American writer, poet, and best-selling author. During his lifetime he was known as the "Hoosier Poet" and "Children's Poet" for his dialect works and his children's poetry respectively. His poems tended to be humorous or sentimental, and of the approximately one thousand poems that Riley authored, the majority are in dialect.
