Summary

Elisabet ran after a lamb 50 years ago and found herself travelling to Palestine, and back through 2000 years to meet the Holy Family. In present-day Norway, Joachim has an advent calendar, and hidden in each window is a part of Elisabet's story, through which we learn what happened to her.

The Christmas Mystery Summary

The Christmas Mystery by Jostein Gaarder

As Joachim opens, day by day, the windows in an old Advent calendar, a story emerges about a little girl called Elisabet who, fifty years ago, disappeared from Norway and travelled across Europe and back through time to be present at the birth of Christ in Bethlehem. This beautiful, mysterious story has been a huge success, both for the children it was originally written for, and as an enduring Christmas seller on the adult list. It now appears in a new form designed to appeal to a younger age group. Much shorter than the original, it loses nothing of the plot, and is enhanced by delightful halftone illustrations that dance through the text, showing angels, shepherds, children, kings and all the many characters who join Elisabet on her journey to Bethlehem.
