Product Description
Good King Wenceslas looked out On the Feast of Stephen, When the snow lay round about, Deep and crisp and even . . . The age-old carol of Good King Wenceslas and his page—who set out on a bitter winter night to deliver the spirit of Christmas—is retold in this lavishly illustrated storybook. The majestic images in rich, soft oil pastels are a perfect complement to this much-loved tale.

Winter warmth from a beautiful book October 12, 2007

STORY
Based on the well know Christmas song, Geraldine McCaughrean has written a wonderful adaptation that is just perfect for winter reading to your children. A story of warmth, compassion and Yuletide spirit, this book should do great with both parents and children alike.
ILLUSTRATIONS
Somewhere online someone (I think it was a publisher) wrote that if ever any artist was perfect for his chosen medium, it was Christian Birmingham. With 'Wenceslas', this amazing artist shows once again how true that remark is. I could go on and on about the amazing textures this craftsman has created with his pastels, brilliant choices of colour (beautiful hues of blue, purple, yello and orange) and other artistic choices Birmingham has made here, but it all comes down to this: this is a gorgeous book, you'll be paging through it again and again just for gazing at the artwork.
