Little Orphan Angela
Illustrated and written by: Edward M. Hays
Christmas is enchanting. And the heart of the Christmas Gospel story
possesses the captivating magic to endlessly reproduce itself over the
centuries in new stories and legends. Creative storyteller Edward Hays,
author of numerous books of stories and parables, has once again been
enchanted by the power and charm of Christmas and has gifted us with
fresh stories for the season. Each of the tales of this trilogy is
beautifully illustrated with full-color paintings by the author himself,
helping to awaken us to the magic and grace of the Christmas message.
Moving and inspiring, these stories for the young and young at heart
contain hidden insights into the rich and varied mystery of God
enfleshed in our human reality. Little Orphan Angela deals with
the power of childlike innocence, "Mikel, Son of the Magi" with the
capacity of love to enlighten and "The Carol of the Candles" with what
is essential in order to be a light to the world. These stories can be
read aloud with the family around the Christmas tree, in classrooms and
study groups. It can be used in the pulpit as well as for personal
reflection. Strikingly attractive and inviting, Little Orphan Angela
makes a welcome coffee-table gift or a Christmas present for staff
members that will resurface in their homes each holiday season.
