Description

 


Intended for children ages 8 & up, this is Madeleine L'Engle's story of the life of Christ, richly illustrated by Giotto's frescoes from the Scrovegni Chapel in Padua.


Says Publishers Weekly: "this lavishly produced picture book about the life of Christ is an interesting combination of coffee-table art book and genial sermon...L'Engle's tale is frequently layered with advice to the young: 'Sometimes it is very important to have an older friend who is not a parent,' she says of Mary's visit to her cousin Elizabeth. Like a parson interpreting Christ's story to her young flock, L'Engle focuses on those aspects of her faith that require belief in the 'Glorious Impossibles that . . . bring joy to our hearts, hope to our lives, songs to our lips.'"


While gently used, this book is in excellent condition: pages are like new, and jacket has minimal wear around the edges.


Hardcover, 64 pages.
