She weaves in a cast of lively characters whose experiences and points of view are not usually represented: a war-hardened soldier at Herod's feast, a grumpy shepherd, Emperor Tiberius himself. Together they proclaim the human drama and divine mystery of the events of Christ's life.</p> <p>Previously published as <em>The Emperor's Vision</em>.</p><p/><br></br><p><b> Review Quotes </b></p></br></br><br><p>'Brings many familiar stories alive in an enchanting way.'<br />- Scientific and Medical Network Review</p> <p>'The reappearance of these wonderful stories will delight all who enjoy telling or reading stories at Christmastide. As a teacher, when I told my classes of primary school children the stories... they proved very popular and inspired excellent artwork! These stories are a wonderful antidote to the materialism and sentimentality which so often mar the celebration of Christmas.'<br />- New View</p><br><p/><br></br><p><b> About the Author </b></p></br></br>Selma Lagerlöf (1858-1940) was born in Varmland, Sweden.
