註釋

While Conrad the cobbler waits for his invited guest, he gives shoes to a beggar, feeds a poor old woman, and helps a lost child find her mother. At the end of the day he asks why his guest has still not arrived and receives a most unexpected answer. The classic tale, originally told by Edwin Markham in 1899, continues to inspire teenagers, adults, parents, and others wearied by the season's hustle and bustle. Alda Ellis has lovingly selected nostalgic turn-of-the century Christmas art to accompany this timeless poem reflecting the true meaning of Christmas.
