Here is the 50th anniversary edition of one of the best holiday books, Truman Capote's memoir of a long-ago Christmas in rural Alabama. It's most suitable for older children,3rd or 4th grade and up. It is memorable for Capote's evocative language, which makes the sights, sounds and flavors of the holiday come alive. It is a pleasure for adults as well as children, providing an interesting background to the Capote we have viewed in recent movies. It's available at
Amazon
. There is also a
video
of the story. It's slow-paced and quiet but enjoyable if you liked the book.
