This book is sung to the traditional Good King Wenceslas song of old. Typed in Old English font, this song follows the King who sees a poor man gathering wood in the freezing snow during the Feast of Stephen. He learns from his page where the man and his family live and decides to trod through the freezing weather to bring a feast to the family.
We listened to the story through Alexa and it followed along perfectly telling the good tale of the King Wenceslas. In the back of the book, there is a short description of the King's life and his desire to spread Christianity and his good deeds of helping the poor.

One of my all-time favorite Christmas songs in picture book format. A beautiful story of a kind and generous king.
