Well, it's not your usual Kinky Friedman book as it's rather lacking in sexual innuendo and profanity. Instead, it's a fairly sweet take on the nativity scene (if you're a Jesus-person) and some nice commentry on art and artists (for the rest of us). It's almost in the Holy Grail tradition, with its knights and quests, which I enjoyed, and has some surreal parts with vikings and mermaids to make sure it's not a regular fable. Should have read it at Xmas, though... :) aucune critique | ajouter une critique
It's a Christmas tale only a man called Kinky could tell. King Jonjo Mayo the First is in a bind. Every Christmas, he commissions an artist to paint a traditional nativity scene to be dramatically revealed after midnight mass. This year, though, the date is mere weeks away, and he still has not yet found his painter. The king decides to take a chance on a peculiar, mute boy whose artistic genius and clairvoyance are rumored throughout the kingdom. He sends three valiant, if begrudging, knights to seek out the boy in the remote countryside. Finally, they find Benjamin -- and he is, indeed, peculiar. Nobody knows if the child is up to the task, but the king's Christmas tradition -- and Benjamin himself -- might just be saved by a Christmas miracle that comes in the form of a very special pig -- who is rather peculiar herself.

Das Buch ist sehr schön und hochwertig aufgemacht, mit schönen Bildern im Innenteil.
Inhaltlich hat es mich nicht überzeugt. Ich finde die Geschichte viel zu überfrachtet. Die Weihnachtsidee kann man auch viel einfacher transportieren. Ich hatte mit den Charakteren überhaupt so meine Probleme. Was am Ende mit Schwein und Kind passiert, ist meiner Meinung nach völlig unnötig. ( )
