Synopsis:
Rich, jewel-like embroideries adorn twelve specially selected Christmas carols.
From Booklist:
All ages. Collections of Christmas carols are readily available, but not with glorious pictures like these. Downes’ medium is embroidery, and she uses it to great effect in illustrations that capture the beauty, reverence, and even the whimsy of the holiday. Facing each song (words and piano music are provided) is a full-page tapestry that incorporates pieces of fabric, tiny stitching, and colored threads. „Silent Night” is accompanied by a traditional nativity scene, happy and serene; „O Come All Ye Faithful” features three happy angels in crowns and ball gowns holding hands and warbling. Adults will marvel at the painstaking work in each embroidered piece, and children will delight in all there is to see in each picture. A charming new interpretation of perennial favorites.
