Description
Summary:King Jonjo Mayo the First is in a bind. Every Christmas, he commissions an artist to paint a traditional nativity scene to be dramatically revealed after midnight mass. This year, though, the date is mere weeks away, and he still has not yet found his painter. The king decides to take a chance on a peculiar, mute boy whose artistic genius and clairvoyance are rumored throughout the kingdom. He sends three valiant, if begrudging, knights to seek out the boy in the remote countryside. Finally, they find Benjamin--and he is, indeed, peculiar. Nobody knows if the child is up to the task, but the king's Christmas tradition--and Benjamin himself--might just be saved by a Christmas miracle that comes in the form of a very special pig--who is rather peculiar herself.
