<br/><br/> "Sint Nikolaas en zijn knecht" by J. Schenkman is a picture book published in 1850. This richly illustrated work tells the first known cohesive story of Sinterklaas and his helper arriving by steamboat in Amsterdam. The bishop from Spain makes a ceremonial entrance, visits shops to buy treats and books, then travels rooftops by horse to deliver gifts and judge which children have been good or naughty. Through numerous reprints, this groundbreaking book profoundly shaped the modern Dutch Sinterklaas tradition and introduced enduring elements still celebrated today.
