The Nativity Story

The Nativity story had been handed down to us in the Bible, in the familiar and timeless words of the gospels.

Around them, acclaimed author Geraldine McCaughrean has woven a tapestry of storytelling, evoking both the earthy reality of the birth of Jesus and all the wonder of brightest heaven.

This is a story to remind you of the miracle at the heart of Christmas: that, in Jesus's birth, love and hope are born anew on earth
