The Butterfingers Angel, Mary & Joseph, Herod the Nut, & the Slaughter of 12 Hit Carols in a Pear Tree A Christmas Entertainment

First published in 1975, this re-telling of the Christmas story has some charming additions, such as a talking donkey, a clumsy young angel with a prompter's script, and a Joseph who is worrying about taking on fatherhood at his age. "Created by one of America's major dramatists, this touching, funny and highly imaginative retelling of the Christmas story brings new relevance to its timeless subject."-- from publisher's website.
