"Long ago, inside a dusty hole, hidden in the Church of Saint Nicholas that stood in the village of Oberndorf, beside a river that rushed helter-skelter through Austria, a land of music and mountains and snow, there lived a large family of mice. This is the legend that inspired the writing and singing of the Christmas carol, 'Silent night'"--Page 4 of cover.
