When little Sophie was faced with a problem just before Christmas, she turned to her German grandmother for help. And that was how she learned the story of another Sophie, the little girl her grandmother had been, and the applewood box, which always must have one coin left in it, except when the owner's heart clearly said, "Now is the time!"

This enchanting story of the two little Sophies and their applewood box holds all the magic and wonder, all the true meaning of Christmas.

A proven favorite with children for many years, this new edition of A Star For Hansi will charm an even larger audience.
