“Well suited for family reading”. – Publishers Weekly
Master storyteller Roger Robbennolt evokes the spirit of the Christmas classics with The Unicorn at the Manger, a collection of imaginative, heartfelt tales for this holy season.
These interwoven stories all begin with the new creche being made for the annual Christmas service. A ceramic unicorn is the first animal crafted for the manger scene by a member of the congregation and delivered to Rog’s office: “I gently placed him in my pocket and hurried to the back of the sanctuary…. A few minutes into the service the children came tumbling down the aisle for their special story. . . . To my amazement, the following tale poured from my pocket and my heart”.
The many memorable characters of The Unicorn at the Manger – the autocratic cow, the devoted mother goat, the outcast pig, the brave ram, the kind snail – will help you remember the reason for the season. These are stories filled with compassion and love that will be cherished from generation to generation.
