RELIGION
Elschner, Géraldine

The Nativity

(4) K-3 Translated by Kathryn Bishop. Illustrated by Giotto. The Christmas story is retold to accompany close-ups of frescoes by Renaissance artist Giotto. Like the art, Elschner's text is formal (if a bit awkwardly translated), and it is more detailed than the familiar Gospel of John. Handsome bookmaking will appeal to an audience looking for a classical interpretation of the birth of Jesus.
