Michael Morpurgo and Quentin Blake's classic Christmas story, now in a brand-new larger gift format – the perfect Christmas gift! A singing of wings, a glorious light, and a sudden beacon of brightness.

It can only mean – can it really? – a visit from the Angel Gabriel himself … One cold Christmas night, a shepherd recounts the magical story of how he came to be the first visitor to the newborn Christ child – ahead of the other shepherds, and in complete secret. This magical reworking of the nativity by the bestselling author of War Horse Michael Morpurgo is beautifully illustrated by Quentin Blake.

A wonderful Christmas gift to treasure and share.
