Customer Reviews

Beautiful. 💚

This book is absolutely amazing! The pictures are breathtaking, and none of the pages were ripped or anything. My only complain is that the book is a little weak, probably from having a lot of people handle it. (It was a library book, and still has all the library marks and everything.)

Attractive illustrations accompany the Nativity story

Ruth Sanderson has created rich and detailed illustrations for this small book which presents the Nativity story from the gospels of Matthew and Luke in the Revised Standard Version. Sanderson's paintings are reminiscent of traditional Eastern Orthodox icons and Roman Catholic religious art. Both the illustrations and the text on each page facing them are bordered with vines, flowers, leaves, and birds, in the style of illumined text.This would make a nice gift for a child at Christmas, and its size might allow it to be a stocking stuffer.
