The Stone: A Persian Legend of the Magi Book

An inspired retelling of the story popularized by Marco Polo. In the ancient Persian town of Saveh, three wise men see a star like no other. Discovering in their scrolls that it marks the birth of a child destined to bring peace to the world, they set off to find him - Jasper bearing gold for a king; Melchior, myrrh for a healer; and old Balthasar, incense for a holy man. After a long journey, they present their gifts to the child and are given a small sealed box. The box contains a stone, and the three men are mystified, until the gift's incredible power is revealed. Dianne Hofmeyr's story is retold from an account in the thirteenth-century journal of Marco Polo. Matched with Jude Daly's atmospheric watercolors, it is a moving new rendition of a legendary tale.Read More
