About This Book

The narrative frames a robin's traditional Christmas tale about the human pair driven from Eden and the mysterious birth that follows the eating of the forbidden fruit. Animals press for explanations while the man seeks to shield the woman and her newborn from curious visitors. A devoted robin flies to Heaven to announce the new life and finds weary angels and a brooding God and Mary distressed by the consequences of the forbidden fruit. The robin's message and the child's presence gradually lift celestial sorrow and inspire the first laugh that the birds celebrate each Christmas.
