Jul i stallet (Swedish)

"Once upon a time there was a child sitting on his mother's lap. It was Christmas and the child's mother told about a very special Christmas night in a stable long ago. The child saw everything in his mind as if it happened in their stable, on their own farm..."This is how the frame story begins in Christmas in the stable, and then follows the well-known Christmas story.Astrid Lindgren's "Christmas Gospel" has become something of a classic. The atmospheric story about the baby born in the stable on the very first Christmas night was first published in 1961, then illustrated by Harald Wiberg. Later editions are illustrated by Lars Klinting.
