Ted Sieger's picture book tells the story of the fourth king in the Gospel's Nativity: king Mazzel, who set off with his small camel, a star-map and a crystal to travel together with his better-known stargazing friends Casper, Melchior and Baltazaar to pay his homage to the new born king. He didn't make it on time though and we learn why in this wise fable providing an apocryphal, but ultimately very Christian gloss to the original story.
