Overview

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.

  • The Best Edition of This Story

    Jill P. - 4 years 3 months ago

    I searched high and low for two copies of this out-of-print edition of A Christmas Memory illustrated by Beth Peck to gift my adult children. They had long admired my copy, which was gifted to me by a close friend in the early 1990’s. The shipping was fast, and the used copies were just as expected, showing very little wear.
