From Advent and the Twelve Days of Christmas, to the flight into Egypt: Estelle Bryer and Janni Nicol tell their favourite ADVENT AND CHRISTMAS STORIES. Over 50 stories, verses, songs and puppet plays, illustrated with simple black-and-white drawings.

They include tips on "setting the mood".

Their approach is simple yet profound and draws on their lifelong experience as Waldorf kindergarten educators, puppeteers, and as mothers. These stories will delight young children, and invite parents and teachers to become more confident storytellers.

Estelle Bryer taught Waldorf kindergarten and eurythmy for over forty years. She is best known as South Africa’s foremost puppeteer for children, founding the only permanent puppet theatre in South Africa in 1992 and performing to over three quarters of a million children. Her daughter Janni Nicol is a mother, kindergarten educator, advisor and writer on Steiner education and creative play. They hope that you will enjoy sharing these stories, and that they become part of your sustaining family tradition.
