Signed by the author in blue ink.
Dust jacket has small rips and damage to be expected of a book that was lovingly read to the original owner's grandchildren.
!!Water damage (see photos)!!
Teal cloth cover with gilt lettering on spine. In good condition.
A beautifully written and illustrated story of the birth of Jesus Christ.
It "was originally written for Margaret Laurence's own children when they were too young to understand the Bible tellings of the Nativity - but not too young to appreciate the true meaning of of Christmas./ She based her retelling on elements drawn from two gospels, St. Matthew and St. Luke, and has woven into it the loving details that have been added through the many centuries of retellings in carols, paintings, and tales. She then asked the artist Helen Lucas to illustrate it. Together they communicate the sense of wonder and joy, love and tenderness that is the essence of Christmas."
