The beloved Christmas carol Good King Wenceslas comes to life in this beautifully told and illustrated story of faith, courage, and charity. 

Set in Bohemia during a time of turmoil, the tale unfolds against two great struggles: the clash between paganism and Christianity, and the conflict between the good Christian king Wenceslas and his rebellious brother, Duke Boleslas.

At the heart of the story is young Vojak, taken captive by Boleslas but claimed and renamed by Wenceslas as Stephen, after the Church’s first martyr. 

Under the guidance of the king, Stephen learns the meaning of Christian service, loyalty, and sacrifice. Together, the king and his page step into a harsh winter night to bring food and aid to the poor, modeling the self-giving love of Christ.

With dramatic storytelling by Mildred Corell Luckhardt and exquisite illustrations by Gordon Laite, this book captures the spirit of the carol—reminding readers of the joy found in kindness and the true meaning of Christmas. 

Perfect for children and families, it is a story that inspires hearts of all ages to live with courage, compassion, and faith.
