Overview

The morning star still shone, and when Polly opened the window the air was crisp and cool. As she leaned out, breathing in its freshness, all the cocks began to crow. And then her lips parted and the tingling blood sent a flow of warmth to her very fingertips. She leaned out farther, her eyes wide, for three ships were sailing towards the harbor. One had a red sail and one had a brown sail, and one had a sail like the wing of a swan.

Little Polly Flowerdew lives with her two maiden aunts, and she is absolutely sure that something special is going to happen this Christmas. She leaves her bedroom window open on Christmas Eve, just in case the three wise men decide to come visit. When she wakes up on Christmas morning, more than one miracle seems to have taken place.

A moving, lyrical, and endearing chapter book, celebrating the magic as well as the mystery of Christmas, this is our first title by Elizabeth Goudge, mistress of the art of storytelling. Charmingly illustrated with ink drawings by Margot Tomes, it is a perfect Christmas read-aloud for young children and parents looking for something slightly sentimental and bracingly wholesome.

Editorial Reviews

Children's Literature
Young Polly comes to live with her elderly aunts, Aunt Dorcas and Aunt Constantia, after the death of her parents. As Christmas approaches, she tries to convince her aunts to celebrate the holiday the way her parents did. Their home was left unlocked day and night to offer hospitality to all. Hungry people came to be fed. According to Polly, every night angels came as well. The aunts consider it nonsense. But they cannot quite explain the events leading up to Christmas as they talk to their friends the Frenchman and Rag-and-Bones. Christmas Eve, special visitors come by with their version of gold, frankincense, and myrrh. The words of the song "I saw Three Ships" are woven through the text. What can it mean Christmas morning when three ships pull into the harbor? The text is quiet and intended for an audience familiar with the song and the story of the "Three Wise Men" from the Bible. Modern children are unlikely to be captivated by the plodding narrative and distant meaning. Reviewer: Carol Ann Lloyd-Stanger
