The story of the Nativity is made truly magical in the masterful hands of the acclaimed author, Brian Wildsmith. This beautifully illustrated book is a delight to share at Christmas time.

Once, a long time ago, in a town called Nazareth, a little donkey was born.

Brian Wildsmith retells the wonderful Christmas story through the eyes of a little girl as she travels to Bethlehem. It is their perspective on the Nativity 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 beautifully presented in a cloth-bound special edition, ideal for sharing during the festive season. Perfect as a set with The Twelve Days of Christmas.

The detail in the pictures means that each turn of the page brings something interesting to talk about. If you are looking for a book to bring more to the Christmas celebration than presents and Santa then A Christmas Story is for you. Enjoy it!

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.

"Embossed with gold, this is a graceful and engaging way to introduce children to what Christmas is really about."
