FOREWORD I have made this book as a massive thank you to everyone who’s supported me throughout this year, especially those I cannot thank personally. Some of these stories take me back to childhood, while others are gems I’ve only found recently – like the delightful letter that Mark Twain Santa wrote for young Susy. All these texts are in the public domain, so feel free to pass them on and spread the joy! ~ 3 ~ Oscar de Muriel Ribble Valley, December 2012 www.oscardemuriel.com @oscardemuriel
