Young and old alike will be enchanted by this group of poems in which the author has delightfully retold fifteen medieval legends of the First Christmas. The original tales grew up in that era when wonders & miracles seemed very near at hand - when it seemed quite natural that all creation must have taken part in the nativity. Written by Pulitzer Prizer winner Phyllis McGinley, the book is illustrated by award-winning artist Leonard Weisgard.
