Review of Gold, Frankenstein and Myrrh: A Six-Year-Old's Christmas StoryAfter feeling the general malaise that comes with the holiday season, i came upon this little gem. I love that the child speaks with such authority and conviction. No detail is spared. She is without doubt our pre-eminent authority on the story of christmas. i will send this to everyone i know as a christmas present. it is wonderful. i think it is the perfect addition to any xmas show playing out there. i wanted to hear more and more. what does the christ child do with frankenstein? and how did the three wise men carry him without being crushed by monosyllabic grunts and paws the size of king herod? more, more, more. PLEASE. as a xmas present? |
