Description: Andersen Press. 1998. (ISBN: 9780862648466). Hardcover. Hardback with D/J in good condition. 1998 Andersen Press. Review This is a very clever and innovative retelling of the traditional Christmas story beginning with the birth of a very special baby. Everyone comes to pay their respects to the newly born child, including the shepherds and the wise men, everyone that is, except one little angel who decides to hide in the dark and watch from above. However, this version of the story has a magical twist at the end which will delight readers both old and young. It is so refreshing to come across a retelling of such a well-known story which can still add an element of surprise. Ruth Brown 's magical illustrations are a perfect fit and will enthral all readers. Ruth Brown, whose The Tale of the Monstrous Toad was shortlisted for the Kate Greenaway Medal in 1997, has created another delightful picture book which relates the story of the Nativity from a different standpoint. The little angel might not intend to take part in the proceedings, but manages to have an important role in events and brings her own brand of joy to the occasion. With warmth and expression Ruth Brown's illustrations bring this appealing heroine to life and ensure that this will remain a popular choice for the festive season.
