I bought this at a library sale for my daughter, Anna. A sweet story with splendid and rich illustrations, it was published in 1944 during WWII. As I remember, we thought the story somewhat fanciful with Saints and whatnot, but still enjoyed it as a cultural story.
This story tells about Christmas traditions in another culture.
