The Night of Las Posadas by Tomie de Paola, Hard Cover The Night of Las Posadas by Tomie de Paola, Hard Cover Tomie de Paola is the author and illustrator of two hundred well loved books for children. He came to Santa Fe for Christmas years ago, and this special book is the result. Susan had the pleasure of meeting him at that time, and her name is in the dedication to this book, as well as many of her friends' names. Las Posadas is an ancient Spanish play traditionally performed before Christmas, but Santa Fe's version adds a few special touches. The event takes place on the plaza, and ends up in the courtyard of the four hundred year old Palace of the Governors, where traditional music is played for the crowds under starry skies. Tomie sets his story in this context, and it is accurate, dramatic, and good reading for young and old. It has a glossery for the Spanish words associated with the story. It is one of Susan's favorite Christmas books. It is available in hard cover and soft cover. Category: Retail Price: In stock: Paper $ 16.99 No Published Sep 26, 2009 - 10:50 AM
