Reviews
In a tale based on Italian legend, first published in 1980 and here reissued, Old Befana spends her days baking and sweeping her house and front steps. When a splendid procession led by the three Wise Men passes by, a boy invites her to come along to Bethlehem to meet the Baby King.... DePaola's ink and watercolor illustrations use flowing lines and glowing colors to propel the story and attract the eye; rustic details help define the Italian-village setting.

- e***n (106)- Feedback left by buyer.Past monthVerified purchaseI waited 2 weeks after contacting the seller and him giving me a refund to finally receive the wrong book I ordered! The seller claimed it was a delay with USPS when I believe the seller just got lazy and forgot about my order and shipped the wrong book. I was willing to pay if it would have been what I ordered. Very disappointing. The image attached is what I received. Completely opposite of what I received!
