Library Christmas books
18 Dec 2024
A miniature copy of the King James Bible, which made headlines around the world when it was rediscovered during lockdown, is among the books on display, giving visitors a rare chance to see a highly unusual example of the original Christmas story. Little enough to fit in the palm of a hand, and with text so tiny it can only be read with a magnifying glass, the Bible dates from around 1911, and is thought to be one of the smallest examples of its kind anywhere in the world.
