The stories of Jesus' birth and childhood are well known, but Selma Lagerl�f brings them truly to life in this wonderful collection of tales for children.
Her storytelling draws vividly on the colourful 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.
