Written for a theatrical production that has become a ritual in itself, Susan Cooper’s poem The Shortest Day captures the magic behind the return of the light, the yearning for traditions that connect us with generations that have gone before - and the hope for peace that we carry into the future. Richly illustrated by Carson Ellis, this beautiful book evokes the joy and community found in the ongoing mystery of life when we celebrate light, thankfulness, and festivity at a time of rebirth. From the author of The Dark Is Rising.
