The Christmas Mystery by Jostein Gaarder
A boy called Joachim acquires a strange old Advent calender - and uncovers from it the story of a girl called Elisabet, who disappeared from her home fifty years earlier. Elisabet has been taken back through time and right across Europe to Palestine, to see the Holy Family in Bethlehem. Two thousand years of history flash by, and angels, shepherds and wise men join her on her joyful pilgrimage. It is Joachim who, through the Advent calendar, makes it possible for her to come home. THE CHRISTMAS MYSTERY transcends all barriers. It has already proved a great success with colour decorations for children, and as a paperback for adults. It has now been abridged for younger readers and freshly illustrated by a talented new young artist. The qualities of wonder and enquiry that readers loved in SOPHIE'S WORLD are as strong as ever in this beautiful and mysterious story which appeals to believers and non-believers alike.
Jostein Gaarder was born in 1952. He taught philosophy in high schools for some years before becoming a full-time writer. He shot to fame with SOPHIE'S WORLD, which has now been published in over 50 countries and has sold over 16 million copies round the world. Sarah Gibb trained at St Martin's and then at Brighton College of Art.
