It has taken me some time to track down this presentation of Good King Wenceslas, which seems to have been my carol of choice this past holiday season (2018), to judge by the number of versions I have read. Many of the picture-books that I have picked up, in this vein, use the text of the carol alone for a narrative, or, if they explore the story behind the carol, include the text of the carol at the beginning or end of the book. Here, the two are intermingled, which makes sense, once you have watched the accompanying DVD, and seen how the performance itself is structured. I found Seymour's narrative (and narration) engaging, and appreciated the inclusion of the little historical asides, although, given that there is some non-fiction content here, I would have loved it if she has included a list of sources for young readers interested in learning more about Medieval Europe. The illustrations by Omar Rayyan are, as I expected, given my appreciation of his work elsewhere, just beautiful. Recommended to anyone who loves the carol, Good King Wenceslas, and is looking for an engaging, and beautifully-produced presentation of it, in picture-book form.… (mere)
