A new illustrated Christmas fable that reimagines the origins of Santa Claus as a love story. It's a lyrical, beautifully illustrated book that celebrates love, generosity, and the spirit of giving. It's a story of two souls whose love helped shape the spirit of Christmas itself. Told through the eyes of a Storyteller by candlelight, the book follows Saint Nicholas of Myra and Jessica - two hearts bound by kindness, courage, and a promise to "keep the light alive. Nick and Jessica invites readers to see the legend of Saint Nicholas in a whole new light - from the mystical forests of Burzee to the rooftops of Myra, their story unfolds with warmth, humor, and a touch of magic. With richly illustrated pages and lyrical prose, Nick and Jessica is a book for both children and adults - a perfect keepsake to read by the fire each Christmas season. "Every gift begins as a story - a spark passed from one heart to another. And when love is the teller, the story never ends." - The Storyteller
