Though not mentioned by name in Scripture, all know the legend of Caspar, Balthazar and Melchior, whose gifts of gold, frankincense and myrrh for the newborn king are heralded in carols. But what if another had missed the rendezvous and then spent years, searching for the source of the light? Henry Van Dyke imagines that alternative in The Other Wise Man, originally published in 1895. The narrator tells us that along the way, the fourth Magi did not find the Messiah to worship, but found many to help. This beautiful gift edition features a new binding and original illustrations by Christian Slade. It will be a treasure for your family each holiday season.

My mom read this to us at Christmas growing up and I was so excited to find it again. This is a wonderful story for anytime of the year because it’s full of good lessons that we can use in our life. It’s a very nice well-made pretty book.
