In the early Christmas traditions of Europe, the Krampus was St. Nicholas' dark servant, a hairy, horned, supernatural beast whose pointed ears and long slithering tongue gave misbehavers the creeps! Whereas St. Nicholas would reward children who'd been good all year, those that had behaved badly were visited by the Krampus.

This pictorial book has a historical survey of the character, and reproductions of over 180 pre-World War 1 Krampus postcards.
