'This play is quite unlike any other that has been based on the Christmas story. Through it the author suggests a remedy for our present inverted world - the marriage of Religion and Science, from which a new faith might be born or an old one revived. But though the theme is serious, the treatment of it is dramatic and often humorous'. London : Frederick Muller , 1948 pg. 39-41
    Note: In this work the three kings (Truth, Wisdom and Imagination) speak separate sections of the poem.
