Author and illustrator Chris Van Allsburg, author of The Polar Express, was profiled by The Boston Globe in December. "It felt like a recovered memory," he said of his holiday book. "I wrote The Polar Express extremely quickly. It felt like something I was recalling rather than something I was making up. Once I imagined myself waiting for the train, I just got on and that was it. It wrote itself."
