About this product

Product Information

On a snowy Christmas Eve, a young man named Thomas on his way home for a family celebration realizes that the candle in his lantern is about to expire. He stops in a chandler's shop filled with fantastic wax creations, but instead of admiring them Thomas scorns the chandler for wasting his time on sculptures that will only melt. The mysterious old chandler sells him a special Christmas candle. Back on the bitterly cold street, the young man is accosted by an old beggar woman. When he lifts his lantern to get a better look, the candlelight reveals that she is his mother. He gives her his cloak and only then sees the truth: She is not his mother after all, but a stranger. The candle tricks him again before he reaches home, cold and penniless, but richer for his newfound realization that we are all part of one family.This intriguing original fable about charity is accompanied by lavish, mood-filled oil paintings by artist Jacob Collins. Together, author and artist have created an exquisite holiday gift book that will be treasured by the entire family.

  • Artist/Illustrator is a Master!

    I purchased this book because the illustrator is a well known artist who know runs an art school atelier in the USA. Purchasing the book to study his paintings was much less expensive than purchasing a print or original. The book (story) is also very good.

  • The Christmas Candle by Richard Paul Evans (1998)

    This book was suggested by our daughter who heard about it at college by her friends. It is an excellent book for the holiday season. I reccommend it for families to read together.
