Brother Egbert's Christmas / Steve Eggleton.

Oxford : Lion Children's, 2014.

62 unnumbered pages : illustrations (colour) ; 22 cm

Brother Egbert is a monk at Willingford Abbey. He spends most of his time copying out pages from the Bible in beautiful handwriting, but on Sunday afternoons he invites the children of Willingford to come and read the Bible stories he has written out especially for them. This is how Jake, the woodcarver's son, learns the story of Jesus' birth, the story that inspires Jake and his father as they make a new carving for the abbey church - and that carving inspires Brother Egbert to write this story.
