With exquisite artwork and evocative text, this original fable explores events of Jesus' life, and demonstrates the role of the Virgin Mary as the benevolent agent of God's people. Reduced to desolation after they transgress against their king and their prince, the inhabitants of a once-favored village seek the intercession of the humble neighbor who became their queen. Religious subjects are presented in an beautiful allegorical style that never becomes didactic.
