Church Mouse of Saint Nicholas

Almost everyone has heard the story of how the beautiful and most tender hymn "Silent Night" came to be written. But in this book you will get to hear the full, maybe somewhat fanciful, story. And you will remember the particulars of this version! Told from the perspective of a little church mouse, Hansli, and his family. This depiction gives you touching, heartfelt and especially humorous details. You will be enticed to slip back and re-read this tale not only to your children at Christmastime but just for the fun of it anytime of the year. A taste of the flavor of this story is found in a footnote on the opening page entitled "A Foresqueak to the Reader"* (Footnote:* Naturally enough, when men say Foreword, mice prefer to say Foresqueak; just as they say forepawed instead of forearmed. . . .)" Your children (and you) will prize and cherish this treasure.
