About this product
Product Information
A holiday classic from "one of the greatest writers and most fascinating society figures in American history" ( Vanity Fair )! First published in 1956, this much sought-after autobiographical recollection from Truman Capote ( In Cold Blood ; Breakfast at Tiffany's ) about his rural Alabama boyhood is a perfect gift for Capote's fans young and old. Seven-year-old Buddy inaugurates the Christmas season by crying out to his cousin, Miss Sook Falk: "It's fruitcake weather!" Thus begins an unforgettable portrait of an odd but enduring friendship and the memories the two friends share of beloved holiday rituals. A Christmas Memory has been described as "[a] gem of a holiday story" ( School Library Journal , starred review), and this warm and delicately illustrated edition is one you'll want to add to any Christmas or Capote collection.Product Identifiers

Three Small Christmas Stories by Truman Capote
Three charming stories by Truman Capote, mostly based on his childhood (which was pretty sad). Very small book, each story is a few pages. So, I read it in about an hour but enjoyed the stories, I like his style of writing. Book was in perfect shape, looked new. I think I'll keep it and read it a few more times, especially around Christmas.Verified purchase: YesCondition: Pre-owned

Your library is incomplete without this book
Simply put, this is an indispensable collection of selected Capote shorts -- "A Christmas Memory" is an indisputable classic, a must read for me and many others of my acquaintance come December, and the companion stories are quite fine as well. Makes the perfect gift in addition to being the perfect holiday read.Verified purchase: YesCondition: New
