(2) 1-3 Illustrated by Jill Weber. Vicky Austin, teenage star of L'Engle's Austin Family Chronicles, narrates this story set in her childhood. It's a busy time for the family: while seven-year-old Vicky nervously rehearses for the Christmas pageant, the entire clan prepares for the arrival of a new baby. This edition includes unobtrusive spot illustrations done in an inviting folk-art style.
