Why You will like Simeon's Gift

Simeon's Gift by Julie Andrews Edwards and her daughter Emma Walton Hamilton is a fairytale of long ago about a musician searching for the perfect gift for his true love. What the young man discovered at the end of his journey is a lesson for all--we find our gifts when we give to others.

Synopsis

Simeon's Gift is set in the days of long ago when castles dotted the countryside, knights rode forth on adventures for the king, and minstrels played their songs for princes and paupers alike. Simeon feels he has nothing of worth to offer his true love and sets out on a journey to find a gift worthy to give.
