The Story of Christmas

Pamela Dalton’s exquisite, intricate scissor-cut illustrations wonderfully illuminate The Story of Christmas and accompany the text from the Gospels of Luke and Matthew.

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. The Story of Christmas is illustrated in the scissor-cut illustration technique of scherenschnitte, used in Pennsylvania Dutch folk art.
