Anne Carroll Moore - Nicholas: A Manhattan Christmas Story (13/19) New Year's In Maine

NICHOLAS: A MANHATTAN CHRISTMAS STORY.....
This fanciful children's story was one of the 1925 Newbery Honor books (published in 1924). Moore's novel blends an interesting tour of an early-twentieth-century New York City with U.S. history and magical dream-like scenarios that children will love.
AUTHOR BIOGRAPHY.....
Anne Carroll Moore (July 12, 1871 - January 20, 1961) was an American educator, writer and advocate for children's libraries. She was named Annie after an aunt, and officially changed her name to Anne in her fifties, to avoid confusion with Annie E. Moore, another woman who was also publishing material about juvenile libraries at that time. From 1906 to 1941, she headed children's library services for the New York Public Library system. Moore wrote the novel Nicholas A Manhattan Christmas Story, one of two runners-up for the 1925 Newbery Medal.
