Review
A verified Kindle customer writes: "A Christmas story for all to read. Eloquently translated from the original book. Best translation I have ever read while maintaining the poetic nature of the original book by Viktor Rydberg. Artwork is simply beautiful. So grateful for this book. It is my children's favorite Christmas book!"
