Book Description

Publication Date: January 1, 1997

A classic Christmas story, a medieval legend adapted & illustrated with delightful line drawings by R.O. Blechman. Maurice Sendaks' charming preface recounts how he found a copy of the original book in the Eighth St. Bookshop in Greenwich Village, NY in 1952, how it inspired him, & how he got to know Blechman personally. Sendak praises the rich graphic & psychological detail of the book. It tells the story of Cantalbert, a juggler in a medieval town, who felt that he was a failure. He became a monk but could not do the grand things that the other monks did for the Virgin Mary. He did not feel at peace until, at last, he resorts to his old juggling . . . .
