Marias kleiner Esel

The Christmas classic in a new edition

No pre-Christmas season is complete without Mary's little donkey! For 45 years now, the adventures of the scruffy little gray creature have captivated enthusiastic readers—and especially listeners—year after year! They eagerly follow how the little stubborn fellow, whom no one in Nazareth knows what to do with, secretly transforms under Mary's care into a nimble and willing helper. They witness how he and the other animals in the stable gently accompany Mary through her pregnancy and how he bravely carries her on his narrow back to Bethlehem—despite all the dangers! And in the end, it is he who finds a place there where Jesus can be born. It’s no wonder that in the end, everyone empathizes with the unusual hero.
