“The Twelve Days of Christmas” is sung in churches, houses, and concert halls throughout the Christmas season. It would be hard to imagine a Christmas celebration without it. From the partridge in the pear tree to the five golden rings to the twelve drummers drumming, carolers enjoy taking turns singing different verses.
Gennady Spirin’s sumptuous paintings bring new life and spectacular beauty to this classic song, making it a gift to be treasured at Christmastime. An Illustrator’s Note is included which addresses the song’s origin and history.
Internationally acclaimed artist Gennady Spirin was born on Christmas Day in a small town near Moscow in the former Soviet Union. He was classically educated at the Moscow Art School at the Academy of Arts and at the Moscow Stroganov Institute. He has received five gold medals from the Society of Illustrators in New York City, the Golden Apple from the Bratislava International Biennial, and first prize at both the Bologna and Barcelona International Book Fairs. His work has appeared four separate times on the annual New York Times Ten Best Illustrated Books of the Year list. The artist lives in Princeton, New Jersey, with his wife, Raisa, and their three sons, Ilya, Gennady, and Andre.
