Three Kings is a beautiful, old picture book, written by the German author Kurt Baumann. The story is about three kings who follow the star, but it is not the story of Caspar, Melchior and Balthasar that is best known. The book has been translated into Dutch and English and the author calls it a special Christmas story.
This picture book may not be for everyone, but we think it is very beautiful. The beautiful soft coloured prints by Bulgarian artist Ivan Gantschev contribute greatly to the atmosphere of the story. Unfortunately this book is now only in used condition available.
