Synopses & Reviews
With words from the Gospels of the King James Bible and luminous artwork inspired by England's glorious stained-glass cathedral windows, this beautiful book celebrates the story of Easter.
In twelve radiant panoramas, Kate Greenaway medalist Fiona French re-creates the complete Easter story -- beginning with Jesus' triumphal entry into Jerusalem through the last supper, the crucifixion, the resurrection, and Jesus' appearance to the disciples, and culminating with his ascension into heaven.
This is the stunning sequel to Fiona French's stained-glass re-creation of the Nativity in Bethlehem.
