Little Drummer Boy, book II (1976)
This is a revised version of an earlier entry. Uploaded is the full version of this selection.
In 1976, Rankin/Bass made a sequel to The Little Drummer Boy. They subtitled it "Book II" in a biblical style reference.
The
story follows Aaron right after the birth of Christ as he helps one of
the wise men, Melchior, recover silver bells that were cast to ring at
the birth of the Messiah. The bells were stolen by greedy Roman
soldiers.
This is a very good sequel and it features a version of the 1963 Bing Crosby Christmas song, "Do You Hear What I Hear?".
Ah, a sweet nostalgic christmas blog. There's not many (any) of these out there. Wanted to share with somebody my interesting persepctive on Frosty the Snowman as told through the eyes of the magician. http://markmatthewsauthor.blogspot.com/2012/12/no-one-mourns-wicked-story-of-frosty.html
