The First Christmas by Jan Pienkowski
Jan Pieńkowski's breathtaking depiction of the Nativity story, now in a new handsome gift edition perfect for children. Jan Pieńkowski's The First Christmas tells the story of the Nativity with stunning illustrations: black silhouettes and decorative silver ink against brilliant jewel-like colors. The text is selected from the King James Version of the Bible (the Gospels of Luke and Matthew), and the scenes depicted by Pieńkowski span various settings, time periods, and moods, making this an imaginative and nuanced interpretation. The First Christmas is a beautiful work of art, a reverent telling of the Nativity story, and a Christmas classic for families to cherish.
Jan Pienkowski has illustrated many books for children, including the hugely popular Meg and Mog books by Helen Nicoll. He has twice won the Kate Greenaway Medal, for his illustrations in Joan Aiken's THE KINGDOM UNDER THE SEA in 1972 and for HAUNTED HOUSE in 1979. Co-founder of the greeting card company Gallery Five (of which he remains a director), Jan Pienkowski has worked as an art director in advertising, publishing, and for the BBC children's television series WATCH. He lives in London.
