Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer

Although the other reindeer may laugh at him because of his bright red nose, Rudolph proves his worth when he is chosen to lead Santa Claus's sleigh on a foggy night.

Rudolph first appeared in a 1939 booklet written by Robert L. May and published by Montgomery Ward, the Chicago, Illinois (USA), department store. The now-familiar tale of Rudolph, a young reindeer with a glowing red nose, and how he came to Santa's rescue one foggy Christmas Eve has become a Christmas classic.

When the sun starts setting sooner and frost begins to gather on your windows, sit down with a loved one to relive this timeless story of a slightly unusual winter creature with a very special talent.
