Kenneth Steven brings together the great tradition of storytelling and his own gentle Christian faith, assuring children of God’s comforting presence - even in difficult situations. - Each story is a great read for children while also being underpinned by a moral point firmly rooted in the Christian faith. - The drawings, created by Katharine Wake, add a charming visual dimension to the clear and elegant prose. - The Raven’s Tale and other stories may be read aloud to children of all ages.
