Editorial Reviews: First published in 1956, this much sought-after autobiographical recollection of Truman Capote's rural Alabama boyhood has become a modern-day classic. We are proud to be reprinting this warm and delicately illustrated edition of A Christmas Memory--"a tiny gem of a holiday story" (School Library Journal, starred review). 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 between two innocent souls--one young and one old--and the memories they share of beloved holiday rituals.

I've read it many times and never tire of it. Customer Rating: Summary: Read Aloud Story Comment: A Christmas Memory is a wonderful story to read out loud at Christmas. It is beautifully written and illustrated and invokes all your senses. You will laugh at loud and you will cry a little because this is a story written from the heart for the heart. Customer Rating: Summary: Enchanting Comment: This was my first taste of Truman Capote away from Breakfast at Tiffany's, and I have to admit that I was blown away by these stories. Rarely does a story pull at my heart strings anymore, but these stories practically left me in tears. Incredibly moving.
