Reviews

"The text is accessible and engaging . . . . A handsome and readable book that successfully illuminates the story of the three kings with images from the Renaissance. Recommended." Teri Markson, School Library Journal
"A lovely Christmas gift book, both as a contemplation of one aspect of the Nativity story and as an introduction to how it has been portrayed though art." Publishers Weekly
