THE CHRISTMAS STORY

by Isabelle-Illus. Brent ‧ RELEASE DATE: Sept. 1, 1989

Excerpted from the King James version and illustrated with decorative, glowing ""illuminations"" that use Persian and Egyptian motifs, as well as the visual vocabulary of the medieval European books that are their primary source. A beautiful book--even though some of the detail is not as meticulously rendered as it first appears: the animals and borders are especially charming.
