This special hardcover gift edition adds to the original edition an updated Introduction, 25 quotes from creation lovers across the centuries, and an Afterword that tells how the book has traveled the world since its first publication, adapting to readers’ particular needs and cultures.
The heart of the book remains the same: 25 reflections on wild animals of the northern hemisphere ingeniously adapting when the season of dark and cold descends. They show us, as if for the first time, the ancient wisdom of Advent: The dark is not an end, but a door. It’s the way a new beginning comes.
David Klein’s 25 original woodcuts illustrate the text, conveying the beauty of each creature. Gold highlights enhance the text.
