Emperor's Vision - And Other Christ Legends (Hardcover, Turtleback School & Library ed.)

Previously published as Christ Legends and Other Stories, Lagerlvf's classic storytelling draws vividly on the colorful history and landscape of the Holy Land, from the time of Jesus to the Crusades. From the surly shepherd of Bethlehem to the war-hardened soldier at Herod's feast; from the unhappy suppliants in the Temple to the cruel Emperor Tiberius, the human drama and divine mystery of the events of Christ's life are woven together in visionary tales.
