Inspired by Charles Dickens’ short book, ‘The Life of Our Lord’, The King of Kings features Dickens sharing the story of Jesus with his young son, Walter. The words spoken by Jesus remain true to the Christian Bible, and through the lens of a child’s imagination, the miracles of Jesus are brought to life.
