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.

Marketing perfection! Received exactly as described, better to be honest! Packaged securly and arrived as indicted. And, what a LOVELY purchasing note attached w/a gift! So very thoughtful! Thank you! I absolutely would recommend this seller and I will be a repeat customer! Thanks so much! Additionally, I had been searching for a 1st Ed/HC of this specific title (for awhile), that wouldn’t cost me a kidney! Thank you for negotiating a fair price! I cannot wait to dive into this read!

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.

A Christmas Memory/One Christmas/The Thanksgiving Visit
My Favorite of these three books is "The Thanksgiving Visitor" but all are well worth your time. Truman Capote crafts a spellbounding account of his childhood experiences in rural America. The book is full of everday details that include his beloved sweet cousin Sook and the hateful mean bully that makes Capote's life miserable. So what happens when 30 relatives come for Thanksgiving Dinner and "the meanest human creature" is also invited? Read and enjoy the experience of dinner at Capote's dinner table and learn his life's lesson.My Favorite of these three books is "The Thanksgiving Visitor" but all are well worth your time.

A Christmas Memory by Truman Capote
I attended a Soup Supper at our local Governor's home here in Iowa and was treated to a reading of "A Christmas Memory" by a local actor, Joseph Leonardi. He did such an excellent job it peaked my interest in reading the book myself. Also, two other great stories are including in this book all three by Truman Capote, "One Christmas" and "The Thanksgiving Visitor". I enjoyed all three and think they are just the type of story a Grandfather or Grandmother should read to their Grandchildren.I attended a Soup Supper at our local Governor's home here in Iowa and was treated to a reading of "A Christmas Memory" by a local actor, Joseph Leonardi.

A Christmas treat any time of the year
What a marvelous little volume of stories. The world of a small child and his faithful companion, an elderly relative who's a little odd, but endearing.
