A Christmas Story

Introducing my very first story book. It was inspired by a little book I received in Sunday school some sixty odd years ago, on the very first Christmas after our family immigrated to Canada from the Netherlands. The book was called Better Than Anything Else, written by Dutch children's author, W. G. van de Hulst.

It's the heart-warming story of a little Princess who heads out on Christmas Eve to find the babe in the manger. But she doesn't tell anyone where she is going...
Picture
...and she has an accident when she gets lost in the woods...
Picture
She is rescued by an old woodcutter and his dog, after being found by a boy from the village..
Picture
The Queen becomes very worried when her daughter does not return and is nowhere to be found, so the King heads out with some of his men to search for her.
Picture
He eventually finds her safe at the woodcutter's cottage...

The characters in the story are played by eight of my favourite dolls...

My sister did an amazing job on the layout, and it's a beautiful book.
There are 75 pages with over 170 full colour photos.
And we've even included a spread at the end with  some Behind the Scenes photos...

This is a wonderful story, a true labour of love. and I'm thrilled that it's been turned into a book. ​
