"Norah Lofts has skillfully woven together the isolated stories of the 3 Wise Men and of Mary and Joseph, giving the traditional story of the coming of the Messiah a color, depth, and dimension never before attained in fiction." - from the book cover.

An amazing book that I have re-read every Christmas for the past 30 years. Norah Lofts has humanized the iconic figures of the characters of the Birth of Christ in this retelling of the Christmas story.
