Van Dyke, Henry

The Story of the Other Wise Man

This classic tale follows Artaban, a Persian Magus who sets out with three precious jewels to seek the newborn King of Israel. Along the way, he repeatedly gives up his plans and treasures to help people in need, and his long search becomes a life of mercy, sacrifice, and spiritual discovery. The story ends with the revelation that the King he sought was found through compassion for the least and suffering people.
