REVIEW: The Story of Christmas by Pamela Dalton
Pamela Dalton’s exquisite, intricate scissor-cut illustrations wonderfully illuminate The Story of Christmas. Deeply reverent, richly detailed, and teeming with life, Dalton s images follow the story of the Nativity from the appearance of the Angel, to the shepherds who came from the fields, and to the three wise men who followed the star to pay respect for their new king. Working in a Pennsylvania-German folk-art tradition, rich with lovingly rendered animals and figures, Pamela Dalton has created a book that takes a deserved place among the finest celebrations of Christmas.
I’m just going to let some of the illustrations from the book speak for it. Click on each image and then click again to see the full pages.
Those are beautiful! Thanks for sharing them, Jayne.
