HOLIDAYS!
There are things to celebrate all year round, and we hope this ever-growing page will reflect that. No matter your favorite holiday, there’s a book (and maybe a tchotchke) for it! Here you’ll find our picks, both classic and lesser known. We try to have beautiful and unique editions of enduring favorites as well as hidden holiday gems.
A Christmas Memory [Modern Library edition]
A Christmas Memory [Modern Library edition]
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.
Also includes One Christmas and The Thanksgiving Visitor.
