Millions of people in the world can finish the lyrics to this beautiful and beloved Christmas carol. But not many can tell you where it came from. Now Wener Thuswaldner and renowned artist Robert Ingpen do just that.
From the lives of its poor and downtrodden creators, to how this glorious composition went on to transcend classes and cultures, the history of the song Silent Night is one worth celebrating.
Complete with the comprehensive song lyrics, this lushly illustrated and beautifully told story is a gift that embodies peace, love, and the spirit of Christmas itself.
