The Huron Carol

'Twas in the moon of wintertime when all the birds had fled. . .

So begins Canada’s most beautiful Christmas carol. Its writer, Father Jean de Brébeuf (1593–1649) was a Jesuit missionary who lived and worked among the Huron Indians for twenty-two years. Although Father de Brébeuf was killed during an Iroquois raid, the carol was kept alive in the Huron language for over one hundred years before it was translated into French, then finally into English in 1926. Frances Tyrrell’s glorious illustrations combine the details of daily Huron life with the wonder of the Christmas story to create a book to treasure.
