Illustrated by
Jane Manning.
In Germany, old Tante experiences a magical Christmas thanks to the curiosity of spiders and the special gift of Kriss Kringle. Tradition, generosity, and a touch of magic are all wrapped into a satisfying holiday story featuring a warm, appealing main character. Manning's soft, richly hued illustrations are a fine enhancement to the gentle tale, which has been revised for this edition.
