JESUS CHRIST – WHO HE WAS...

Written for his own children in 1846, Charles Dickens’ story of the life of Jesus Christ is a familiar tale told with a gentle voice. It is an insightful telling for those who have never heard it before. Paired now with the art of William Blake, whose paintings depict almost every scene, the story soars to new heights. There is innocence, there is vision, there is transcendent beauty when the two artists meet. "I am very anxious," Charles Dickens told his children, "that you should know something about the history of Jesus Christ, for everybody ought to know about him. No one ever lived who was so good as he was, or so kind, so gentle and so sorry for all people who did wrong or were in any way ill or miserable. You never can think what a good place heaven is without knowing who he was and what he did." • This book was researched and edited by Carol and Luis Garrido.
