A cold morning in Ireland, December 26th; ice prevails over the blackthorn. A man wanders through the village that is just waking up, knocking on every door, calling the boys. Today is St. Stephen's Day, when, according to legend, the saint was betrayed by the call of a wren, and the boys head to the forest, hoping to find the treacherous bird and catch it before nightfall. But what will they do if their prey escapes? Inspired by the myths of the wren and the Irish tradition of its hunt, Carol Ann Duffy's beautiful new Christmas poem takes us on a chase through a snowy, rural landscape and concludes with a joyous celebration. With beautiful color illustrations by Dermot Flynn, the Wrens will make a perfect addition for the holidays.
