Good King Wenceslas

Good King Wenceslas

One snowy night, a king and his faithful page venture out to deliver food and comfort to a peasant family. This beloved Christmas carol Good King Wenceslas is brought to life by actress Jane Seymour and artist Omar Rayyan. The sumptuous illustrations reflect the medieval, Bohemian setting of the story, capturing the lavish feast of St. Stephen at the castle and the arduous midnight trek through heavy snow to a humble cottage deep within the forest. The original lyrics to the song, which were set to music more than 150 years ago, are interwoven throughout the story as the King s invitation to follow in His footsteps brings the blessings of Christmas to all of His kingdom. The book includes a DVD featuring Jane Seymour s narration of this classic story, performed with the world-acclaimed Mormon Tabernacle Choir. Also included is an introduction by Jane Seymour and an original illustration created by her especially for this book.
