Enhanced descriptions from Syndetics:
With exquisite artwork and evocative text, this original fable explores the events of Jesus' life, and demonstrates the role of the Virgin Mary as the benevolent agent of God's people. Reduced to desolation by a king and prince who feel they have been wronged, the residents of a once-favored village must seek help from the queen, a native of their devastated town. Religious subjects are presented clearly in an allegorical style that proves entertaining, and also serves to provide children with examples of virtue and good behavior.
Although favored by their king, his charitable wife, and their peace-loving son, ungrateful villagers turn away and bring disaster upon themselves, then, when they have nothing left, repent and ask the queen to intervene on their behalf. Includes an explanation of the religious bases of the story and an explanation of the symbolism therein.
