A beautifully illustrated Christmas story from one of the worlds most loved writers. In Angela and the Baby Jesus McCourt revisits his mothers childhood. Set in Limerick at the turn of the century Angela and the Baby Jesus is the story of the Christmas when Angela was six and concerned about the baby Jesus on the altar of St. Josephs Church near School House Lane where her family lived. The story is written in the voice in which Frank McCourts told his internationally bestselling and award winning Angelas Ashes. The story is illustrated by Loren Long. Like Dylan Thomas A Childs Christmas in Wales it is for readers of all ages.
