Using passages from the Bible, this Spanish edition of Spirin's The Christmas Story tells of the birth of Christ from the angel Gabriel's announcement to Mary to the three Wise Men's visit. Masterfully composed, lavish paintings, with ethereal figures and golden and ochre hues, are a good match for the archaic language of the text. This offering will probably appeal more to older readers and adults.
