The three wise men set off "to find the King of Kings" without Artaban, the fourth wise man, when he stops to help a dying man. Artaban travels his whole life in search of Jesus, often choosing to help others rather than fulfill his own goals. The story is told in appropriately formal language and illustrated with handsome watercolors. An author's note provides more information about the story's origins.
