A Christmas Memory by Truman Capote (1996, Hardcover)

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.Read full review
