      AT Christmas time, our thoughts turn to the mystery of the Incarnation. That’s the primary focus of Christians—or should be, although we all have other preoccupations. Shall we bother with a Christmas tree this year? Do we absolutely have to have tur

      The Christmas season is a mystical one. For me, listening to Christmas carols always adds to the magic, and “Good King Wenceslas” stands out. Its beautiful story of a Christmas miracle dates back centuries. It may not be the most popular carol. But i

    • 5/5
      Charming, beautiful, and a little bit sad. The illustrations are perfect.
    • 5/5
      This is a remarkable story. In it's few pages Truman Capote manages to paint a picture of a seven-year-old boy and his sixty-something year old friend and a Christmas that they spend together. The language in the story is lyrical and beautifully descriptive. Is this book autobiographical? The way it is written, I believe it is. The story is told from the heart and from deep in Capote's soul. Truman Capote had to have lived this in order to describe it so exquisitely. This little book was given to me as a gift, and I waited to read it during the Christmas season. The Christmas season with another Covid-19 wave turned out to be perfect timing for me. If you can get your hands on this little gem, I highly recommend that you take a few minutes to read it. Merry Christmas.
    • 5/5
      3 stories of life with young Truman's friend, Miss Sook. You can never doubt their abiding love for each other.
    • 4/5
      This book is bittersweet. I love that Capote highlights an unusual friendship: that between the very old and the very young. It's not a common grouping and it reminds me of the immense love and friendship shared between my grandmother and my young son. Of course the ending is sad, as it must always be in these cases, but the rest is so filled with warmth, love, and happiness. Do we dwell on the outcome, or the journey there?

      As always, Capote's prose is easy-to-read yet filled with depth and nuance. I adore it.
    • 5/5
      A very poignant story of a young boy learning to love life with a mentally challenged older cousin. Quite moving.
    • 4/5
      This Christmas story is based on Capote's relationship with an aunt and recalls Christmases where they gathered nuts and scraped pennies to gift fruitcakes. It's a lovely novella which captures the spirit of giving at Christmas.
    • 5/5
      A Christmas Memory by Truman Capote is a simple story on the surface, but it is loaded with complex ideas. Truman's relationship with his beloved aunt and their days leading up to Christmas is told from Truman's memory through the eyes of his six year old self. Using flowery writing and beautiful prose, his memory comes to life.The story can stand well on it's own, but I had the added pleasure of knowing Mr. Capote through the eyes of Harper Lee, his best childhood friend, and have had the privilege to visit their home town. All of this has given me a way to connect further with the boy and his setting.
    • 4/5
      Classic telling of a Southern small town friendship; bittersweet.
    • 4/5
      read this my senior year in high school in my English class. loved the story and liked the movie
    • 5/5
      Lovely,touching,heartwarming. A quick but unforgettable read for the season.The illustrations were beautiful.I will read this every year!
    • 5/5
      A beautifully written autobiographical story of a Christmas some twenty years in the author's past, during the Depression, when he was a boy and his sixty-something older cousin, still a child in her mind and his best friend, would make some thirty fruitcakes for Christmas to deliver to everybody they knew, and some they didn't. The picture on the cover is of Capote and his cousin. I think this is the best thing I have read by Capote, certainly the most poignant.
    • 5/5
      This is one of my favorite holiday stories, though I only discovered it a few years ago. It is beautiful and familiar and heartbreaking. This version has lovely illustrations and includes an audio CD with Celeste Holm narrating.
    • 5/5
      Truman Capote experienced an unusual childhood. He was neglected by both parents and parked with older relatives for his upbringing. One cousin (Sook) took an interest in his life and spent time with him. This short novel is a tribute to her.
    • 4/5
      A Christmas Memory is Capote’s autobiographical short story about an orphaned, 7-year-old boy named Buddy; his mischievous, elderly woman cousin; their dog Queenie; and their disapproving relatives. It’s fun, inspirational, and somewhat sad, with a real sense of the 1930s setting and a peek into what likely stirred the writer in Capote.NOTE: The “Tale Blazers” edition is intended for instructional use; it includes the text of the short story plus questions and quizzes about vocabulary and reading comprehension. If you're only interested in the text, you can read the story online here. But for a more pleasurable reading experience, I recommend the children’s edition, illustrated by Beth Peck.
    • 5/5
      Just a lovely tribute to unconditional love given to a child who really needed it. Capote's autobiographical memory of a childhood Christmas.A companion to his later "One Christmas".Os.
    • 4/5
      A sweet description of one Christmas by a seven-year-old boy.
    • 3/5
      Very vivid storytelling. Lots of local color with very few characters
    • 5/5
      This was a wonderful book. As can be expected from Capote, it was really well written, and I was able to relate to the characters in this story a lot better than those in Breakfast at Tiffany's. Very moving.
