The beloved Christmas carol receives a thoughtful, creative visualization here, courtesy of British artist Lara Hawthorne. In these stylized paintings, the plants and animals call to mind folk art and tapestries, while the Holy Family and the three wise men have darker skin tones than we usually see, and are often shown in profile, reminding us of ancient Egyptian art. Supplemental notes tell the story of how the carol was written, and a lyric sheet is also included.
