I've just been re-reading Little Big (prompted by the discussion on this
group) and by some wierd coincidence, just reached the page in Letters
to Santa where Smoky reveals his real name.
  Some-one asked what the S stands for. Does no-one get the joke?

  Evan S. = evanesce = disappearing from sight, fading, or maybe
ghost-like or even Smoky
