We all enjoy receiving letters and the children in Mr Green's class at Daisy Hill School are no exception. However, the letters they write and receive are a little different. The children correspond with some of the major Biblical figures, and, through the letters, begin to understand and associate with the events and personalities involved. This book introduces the story of David. First we meet him as a shepherd, looking after his father's sheep in the hillsides above Bethlehem. Next we meet him on the run from King Saul, and finally as a great king and poet. Alongside his story we meet Matthew, the money man who became a gospel writer, and John the Baptist, the wild and woolly cousin of Jesus who had the job of getting people ready to meet the son of God.
