Amahl and the Night Visitors is a beautiful Christmas story—tender, warm, humorous.  It tells of a crippled shepherd boy who entertained the Wise Men on their way to Bethlehem, of the simple gift he gave them for the Christ Child, and of the miraculous gift he received in return.  

A true Christmas classic in narrative form prepared by the author and poet, Frances Frost, preserving all the original dialogue of the opera.
