A delightful Christmas fantasy told with inimitable charm and delicate
humor. It is "the story the robins tell as they huddle beneath the holly
on the Eve of Christmas"--the sensation created by the birth of the
first baby, among the animals on earth, the angels in heaven, and even
in the mind of the surprised Almighty Himself. The conception of the
Deity is a primitive one, as required by the nature of the tale, and the
story should be read as a "myth-story."
