Julia Eccleshare's comment:
A wonderful collection of celebratory stories from around the world retold by a master storyteller who knows exactly how to recreate magic and wonder for his listeners. In addition to the familiar Christmas stories of Joseph and Mary’s journey, the birth of the baby and the arrival of the Star Watchers, there are stories from around the world showing how different Christmas traditions have developed according to local circumstances. The result is a hugely satisfying anthology which will offer much to all who listen to these stories.
