A beautifully illustrated retelling of the story of the mice who inspired the carol of 'Silent Night'.

Long ago, in the Church of St Nicholas in Oberndorf in Austria, Joseph Mohr wrote the words to the Christmas carol, Silent Night. The music was composed by his friend Franz Gruber, to be played on a guitar... because mice had eaten through the organ bellows!

This is the beautiful story of the mice that inspired the writing and singing of the famous song, imaginatively told by Vicki Howie and illustrated in a way that will delight young children by Hungarian-born Kriszta Nagy Kallai.

Silent Night is ideal for Children ages 5-7. It also makes an ideal gift from parents, grandparents or godparents, or as a gift or prize from church or Sunday School.
