A Christmas Memory is the classic memoir of Truman Capote's childhood in rural Alabama. Until he was ten years old, Capote lived with distant relatives. This book is an autobiographical story of those years and his frank and fond memories of one of his cousins, Miss Sook Faulk. The text is illustrated with full color illustrations that add greatly to the story without distracting from Capote's poignant prose.
Product Description
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.

Bard's Babe (California)
A Christmas Story is a work of absolute perfection - Capote at his best. I've read it many times and never tire of it.

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.

David Edmonds (Lansing, MI)
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.

Beautifully bound and covered. Wonderfully written; an understatement. Got it as a present for my son's English teacher. Perfect.
