Description
A timeless Christmas poem brought to gorgeous life in a keepsake edition for the modern family, with gold foil details
Henry Wadsworth Longfellow’s beloved poem, I Heard the Bells on Christmas Day, captures an enduring message of peace and resilience. This edition pairs the poem with evocative artwork from Janna Steagall, offering families the opportunity to share and reflect on the true meaning of the season.
Whether given as a gift or cherished as part of your own holiday tradition, this book invites readers of all ages to rediscover the power of hope in the face of hardship—and the enduring promise of peace on earth, goodwill to all.
Advance Praise
Longfellow’s 1864 poem is set against rosy-hued scenes of a town on Christmas. The refrain of “peace on earth, good-will to men!” is juxtaposed with references to global and interpersonal conflict that are as relevant today as they were to the author’s original Civil War–era setting. The digital illustrations are similar in style to the work of Christian Robinson, with flat coloring in warm, inviting tones. Like the text, they have a timeless quality, reflecting the poem’s message of hope.
