Tender and bittersweet these stories by Truman Capote the author of Breakfast at Tiffany's are a captivating tribute to the Christmas season 'We set about choosing a tree. It should be muses my friend twice as tall as a boy. So a boy can't steal the star.' Selected from across Truman Capote's writing life these Christmas stories range from nostalgic semi-autobiographical portraits of childhood to more unsettling tales of darkness beneath the festive glitter. In the Deep South of Capote's youth a young boy Buddy and his beloved maiden 'aunt' Sook forage for pecans and whiskey to bake into fruitcakes make kites - too broke to buy gifts - and rise before dawn to prepare feasts for a ragged assembly of guests while in other stories a lonely woman has a troubling encounter in wintry New York and an unlikely festive miracle of sorts occurs at a local drugstore. Brimming with feeling these sparkling tales convey both the wonder and the chill of Christmas time.
