A Christmas Story

by Brian Wildsmith (Author)

Synopsis

'Once, a long time ago, in a town called Nazareth, a little donkey was born.' As the wonderful events of the Nativity unfold, Brian Wildsmith tells of the journey of a little girl and a donkey to Bethlehem. It is their perspective on the Christmas story that gives the book such an intimate, innocent and child-centred appeal. This classic story from one of our most internationally acclaimed picture-book writers and artists has deservedly become an enduring favourite with children at Christmas time. Now, a stunning new cover design will delight a whole new generation of young Wildsmith fans.

Media Reviews
Elaborately illustrated with magnificent gold illuminations, this gentle version of the Nativity captures all the wonder of the birth of Jesus. * Practical Parenting *
. . . a wonderful retelling of the Nativity from one of the UK's most acclaimed picture-book writers and illustrators. First published over 20 years ago, the child-centred perspective offers a great introduction to Christmas events and traditions. * The School Run *
The beautiful illustrations ... are evocative in a quite different way and they are equally skilful in bringing the story of the birth of Jesus to life. * Julia Eccleshare, The Guardian online *
