Bethlehem is normally a quiet little town on the edge of the desert. But tonight, as dusk falls, there is a sense of something special in the air.

Carol Ann Duffy's evocative poem will transport you to Bethlehem, capturing the sights, the sounds and the atmosphere of this ancient and magical place.
With illustrations by Alice Stevenson, Bethlehem by Carol Ann Duffy is a Christmas poem to treasure.
