The story of Christmas Eve Magic revolves around a wee pig named Barton who despises Christmas and everything about it. On Christmas Eve, the grumpy porcine changes his yuletide-hating ways after a little mouse shows him the magic of Christmas Past, Christmas Present, and Christmas Yet to Come. Animal characters make for an innovative and refreshing interpretation of Dickens’ classic A Christmas Carol. Stéphane Poulin’s sophisticated illustrations, rendered in oil on canvas, are warm and expressive. This book was originally published in French as Un chant de Noël. mRb
