Good King Wenceslas looked out...

As it is a tradition on Vraie Fiction to avoid this consumerist day that is Boxing Day, I am uploading Good King Wenceslas again. We are, after all, on the Feast of Stephen. One of my favorite Christmas carols, a tale in a song, as efficient as it is atmospheric. I also discovered last year another take on the story I really enjoyed, in a poem form by Carol Ann Duffy. You can read it here. Ladt year I bought the poem for myself, beautifully illustrated by Stuart Kolakovic. I could not find a version of the song I really loved, but this one will do.
