5.0 out of 5 stars The Story of the Other Wiseman by Henry Van Dyke, December 11, 1999
By A Customer
This is the story of Artaban, a seeker of Truth. He is the other wiseman who sought the 'great king'foretold in ancient script and heralded by the 'star'. On his way to meet the three wisemen, he is delayed. This sets him on a quest ins search of the King. It will lead him to many places and experiences. This book with its beautiful word pictures reminds us once again the importance of seeking Truth wherever we find it. It adds new meaning to the story of Christmas.

5.0 out of 5 stars I have given all my copies away!!, December 19, 2003
By A Customer
My English teacher read this to my class in Grade 12, and I remember crying in class. Very touching story which reminds us of the meaning of Christmas. I have purchased this for the children and adults in my life so many times that I have run out of copies. I guess that Amazon doesn't mind that...

2.0 out of 5 stars Not what it was described to be, November 27, 2007
By Tulsa Mom (Tulsa, OK) - See all my reviews
This review is from: The Other Wise Man (Hardcover)
This is not the story that Henry Van Dyke wrote. It is a retelling of his story by another person. The description does not state this fact.
