In `How Far to Bethlehem, Norah vividly recreates the story of everyday lives of a strange variety of people living in the year of Nativity, and how those lives were changed and directed towards the birth of a baby in Bethlehem.</abstract> <note type="statement of responsibility">Norah Lofts</note> <note>Jassy (1944), Bless this House (1954), Scent of Cloves (1958), How Far to Bethleehem?
