The Christmas Play Clare Bevan
The unfolding events of a children's nativity play - with all the familiar props, trappings and disasters - provide the plot of this endearing narrative poem. Written with insight and humour this will appeal to children and adults alike. (The poem was first published in the Lion anthology Star of Wonder.) The fun-filled illustrations capture the excitement experienced by all those involved in staging a nativity play. They include children from a range of ethnic backgrounds.
