Experience the true spirit of Christmas with this rich celebration of the nativity story - newly reissued.
With words from the King James Bible and stunning silhouettes by Jan Pienkowski, the master of dramatic design, the very first Christmas is brought gloriously to life.
A classic and the perfect Christmas gift.
Jan Pienkowski was born in Warsaw in 1936. After creating his first book at the age of eight, Jan went on to excel in his chosen field of design, working in such diverse areas as television, theatre and greetings cards. Published in 1968, A Necklace of Raindrops was the first of several wonderful collaborations between Jan and Joan Aiken - and it was also the very first book Jan illustrated. For over forty years, he has also worked on the Meg and Mog books. He has since twice won the Kate Greenaway Medal for Illustration, and has created many instantly recognizable classics.
