Book description
A Wayne in a Manger
is the hilarious compilation of nativity stories by Gervase Phinn.
Discover some wonderfully funny and touching nativity play
anecdotes, including children forgetting their lines, ad-libbing,
falling of the stage, picking their noses and showing their knickers.
One brilliant anecdote tells of an innkeeper who generously says
there's plenty of room for Mary and Joseph, while another child,
jealous of Joseph's starring role, allows Mary to come in but not
Joseph, who can 'push off' ... There's the baby Jesus who suddenly
pipes up with 'My name is Tammy, are you my Mommy?' and funniest of
all, Mary who tells Joseph, 'I'm having a baby - oh and it's not yours'.
Gervase Phinn's A Wayne in a Manger is the perfect gift this Christmas.
