Product Description
Product Description
In Jeanette Winterson's beautifully evocative retelling of the story of the very first Christmas, the humble donkey is chosen amongst all the other animals, including the kingly lion and the proud unicorn. As his journey unfolds, he is touched by the magic and mystery of the Nativity. Stunning illustrations by Rosalind Macurrach and twinkling gold detail make this the perfect Christmas book.

A little Christmas Gem,
By
This review is from: The Lion, The Unicorn and Me: The Donkey's Christmas Story (Hardcover)
This is such a new, interesting and beautiful retelling of the nativity. Rosalind Maccurach's illustrations really bring the whole story to life in a very touching and moving way. I can't imagine anyone child or adult not being affected by this book. It should rightly sit alongside Jan Pienkowski's Christmas Story as a classic book full of breathtaking images that every house should own and treasure.

A wonderful gift for children or adults,

This review is from: The Lion, The Unicorn and Me: The Donkey's Christmas Story (Hardcover)
I have always admired Jeanette Winterson but I didn't know she had done any picture books. This book is absolutely beautiful, and very moving and personal in its retelling of the Christmas story. I would definitely buy this for an older child or anyone who loves JW's writing, as I do. But I'm keeping this copy for myself!

A spiritual surprise and delight,
By
This review is from: The Lion, The Unicorn and Me: The Donkey's Christmas Story (Hardcover)
I was surprised and delighted by The Lion, the Unicorn and Me. For someone who is known for having had a difficult relationship with Christianity Jeanette Winterson has written a deeply spiritual and moving nativity story. The extraordinary idea of the incarnation is breathed throughout this fable. It is telling us something totally real and very wonderful. Our earth was visited and it makes all the difference. Rosalind MacCurrach, a newcomer, has illuminated the story with light and humour. Her glorious illustrations are very moving. I was impressed, for example, by the idea of placing the angel and the shepherds in a vast amphitheatre of the creation, the whole world. So right! This little book will delight children and all ages and be treasured for years.
