Of robbers, Indian elephants, and snow in Bethlehem. With the three wise men taking a detour to the child in the manger. By now, they were experts. Like every year, the three men gathered with their gifts to travel the final weeks of the journey to the divine child in the manger together. They had done this so many times before. They no longer got lost in the desert, as they had the first time. They no longer had to ask a tyrant with poisonous eyes for directions. They knew the way - and even some shortcuts. And yet, one night, it happened that they followed the wrong star. A simple mix-up, but one with significant consequences. This lovingly illustrated Christmas story accompanies the Three Wise Men on their (detour) journey to Bethlehem. And every evening, as the three warm themselves by the campfire before bed, they share their most beautiful experiences with each other.
