Originally published in "Harper's Magazine" in 1903 and 1904, "Italian Fantasies" is a 1910 work by British author Israel Zangwill (1864-1926). Highly recommended for those with an interest in Italy and Italian history. Contents include: "Of Beauty, Faith, And Death - A Rhapsody By Way Of Prelude", "Fantasia Napolitana - Being A Reverie Of Aquariums, Museums, And Dead Christs", "The Carpenter's Wife - A Capriccio", "The Earth The Centre Of The Universe - Or The Absurdity Of Astronomy", "Of Autocosms Without Facts - Or The Emptiness Of Religions", etc. Israel Zangwill was a leading figure in cultural Zionism during the 19th century, as well as close friend of father of modern political Zionism, Theodor Herzl. In later life, he renounced the seeking of a Jewish homeland in Palestine. A notable portion of Zangwill's work concentrated on ghetto life and earned him the nickname ""the Dickens of the Ghetto"". Other notable works by this author include: "Dreamers of the Ghetto" (1898), "Grandchildren of the Ghetto" (1892 ), and "Children of the Ghetto: A Study of a Peculiar People" (1892). This classic work is being republished now in a new edition complete with an introductory chapter from "English Humourists of To-Day" by J. A. Hammerton.

In a land where Christmas was essentially a social holiday, a man who had turned his back on his neighbors was awakened to the importance of "sharing your life without expectation." Jonathon Syzmoor began a partnership with the man known as Saint Nicholas, who frequently made requests on behalf of those in need. Because these services were provided anonymously, Jonathon became known through legend as "The Woodsman." When Jonathon grew too old to continue to serve these requests, his grandson accepted the Woodsman's Staff, thereby continuing the work Jonathon started. Andrew's son, Abram, continued the family legacy, however his service was different, often traveling beyond the boundaries of Scandinavia. When Abram died, while in service to Saint Nicholas, the staff passed to a new Woodsman and a new family, Jameson Thorpe in Namsskogan, Norway. Each of these men shared their lives without expectation, but not always without question.
