The Christmas story is told by the donkey who has grown up with a young girl named Mary, who is now married to Joseph and is with child. The honored beast has just carried Mary to Bethlehem, where their story begins. Simple, lovely arrangements of beloved carols intersperse the tale: The Angel Gabriel * Es ist ein Ros' * O Little Town * Away in a Manger * In the Bleak Mid-winter * We Three Kings * Unto Us a Boy is Born * O Come, All Ye Faithful * and others. Illustrated in full color.
