The stories of Jesus' birth and childhood are well
known, but Selma Lagerlöf brings them truly to life in this wonderful
collection of tales for children.
Her storytelling draws vividly
on the colorful history and landscape of the Holy Land. She weaves in a
cast of lively characters whose experiences and points of view are not
usually represented: a war-hardened soldier at Herod's feast, a grumpy
shepherd, Emperor Tiberius himself. Together they proclaim the human
drama and divine mystery of the events of Christ's life.
Previously published as The Emperor's Vision.
(Ages 7-12)
