In this reissue of a miniature edition of the book first published in 1984, Pienkowski uses delicate silhouettes to illustrate the text of the Christmas story taken from the King James Bible. The art suits the formal language, but the small size detracts from what was originally a trim size as grand as the tone of the text and pictures.
