Lift the flaps on this traditionally styled Advent calendar to reveal moments from Gunhild Sehlin's beautiful Christmas story, accompanied by Hélène Muller's exquisite illustrations. Each of the 24 windows opens to reveal a picture detail from the story and, on the back of the window, a short extract from the words of the story. In that way, the story of Mary and Joseph's journey can be charmingly told, day by day, over the Advent season. Mary's Little Donkey is also available as a full-length picture book, adapted from Gunhild Sehlin's classic story and sumptuously illustrated by Hélène Muller with marvellous details of the Holy Land.

The world¿s most famous donkey tells the nativity story behind each window in this unique traditional advent calendar
