Eight-year-old Virginia O’Hanlon has always loved Christmas. When a classmate asks “Is there a Santa Claus?” Virginia sets out to prove he is real. She writes a letter to Francis Church, the editor of The New York Sun. The answer she receives is one that will become the most famous newspaper editorial of all time and proving once and for all, “Yes, Virginia, there is a Santa Claus.”
