TROSCLAIR
Take the classic story of jolly
old St. Nicholas, place it in a
Louisiana
bayou setting, dress Santa Claus in muskrat "from his head to his
toes," pile his skiff high with toys, and hitch it to eight friendly
alligators. the result is this
delightful new version of an old and familiar tale.
It is Christmas on the bayou.
Conceived by J.B. Kling, Jr., a
retired
Baton Rouge
, Louisiana
, law enforcement officer and popular after-dinner speaker, Cajun Night Before
Christmas originally appeared as a Christmas message from Bergeron Plymouth
Company of
New Orleans
. Under the pseudonymous byline
"Trosclair," the story won a Clio Award in 19678 from the
Academy
of
Television
and Radio Advertising. The Clio
statue, symbol of outstanding achievement and excellence in broadcast
advertising, today is a prized possession of Allen Davis
, whose agency generously granted permission to adapt the story to book form.
