Pamela Dalton's exquisite, intricate scissor-cut illustrations wonderfully illuminate The Story of Christmas . Deeply reverent, richly detailed, and teeming with life, Dalton's images follow the story of the Nativity from the appearance of the Angel, to the shepherds who came from the fields, and to the three wise men who followed the star to pay respect for their new king. Working in a Pennsylvania-German folk-art tradition, rich with lovingly rendered animals and figures, Pamela Dalton has created a book that takes a deserved place among the finest celebrations of Christmas.
Pamela Dalton's cut-paper artwork has delighted children and attracted a loyal following of collectors for almost 25 years. She lives in Harlemville, New York, where her home and studio overlook a biodynamic farm and school community.
