One of the loveliest of all carols, the Huron Carol was written by Father Jean de BrÉbeuf, a French Catholic priest who settled among the Huron people in the early 1600s. Despite his missionary zeal, BrÉbeuf was sensitive to the Hurons' beliefs. He not only wrote the carol in Huron, he incorporated the Huron landscape, flora and fauna, and even the Huron name for God, Manitou, into the telling of the Christmas story. Ian Wallace brings his gorgeous landscapes and cultural sensitivity to this beautiful and unusual Christmas song, which makes a thoughtful gift for both children and adults.Wallace, Ian is the author of 'Huron Carol' with ISBN 9780888997111 and ISBN 0888997116.
