Thomas Nelson Pub. has a new book on King Wenceslas which I too have forgotten about. <br />Thanks for all these reminders that you didn't know you did!

When my husband did some genealogical research, he discovered that it is <i>said</i> that his family is descended from the Wenceslas family--that our last name is a corruption of the original over time. We do not know that this is true, but it has been fodder for the family imagination ever since. I have been meaning to find some children's books on this to add to the library, so I appreciate your list very much!Brandy Vencelhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17945305890488681685noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-241960203289083167.post-2085395046789853152010-12-11T18:30:05.539-08:002010-12-11T18:30:05.539-08:00How very interesting, Nancy!

I have never even really thought about whether there was a real Wenceslas but I sure do get the tune stuck in my head at Christmas. Just earlier this evening we sang a song to that same tune, called, "Gentle Mary Laid Her Child," I think that's the title - it's close anyway. It's part of our Christmas program at church, but I just can't hardly sing that without thinking of King Wesceslas the whole time. HA!

I enjoyed the beat of the Christmas song and liked singing it, but didn't look any deeper than that. It sounds like a true Shakespearean plot. Thanks for sharing!
