Cute fairy tale based on fairy tale, March 5, 1998
By A Customer
This review is from: A Carol for Christmas (Hardcover)
This is a cute Christmas story for youngsters, however, it would have been better had it been based on fact. The words for Silent Night were written in Mariapfarr, Austria in 1816 and the music added in Arnsdorf, Austria in 1818. The poor mice were not to blame for the malfunction of the organ in St. Nicholas Church in Oberndorf. That was an ongoing problem and easily fixed. The real problem was the flooding of the Salzach River which caused rust and mildew. I like mice stories for children, but if they are connected with something realistic such as Silent Night, the story should be woven around the facts with more care and consideration.
