As a  literary subject, Christmas has inspired everything from intimate domestic dramas  to fanciful flights of the imagination, and the full range of its expression is represented  in this wonderfully engaging anthology.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eGoblins frolic in the graveyard of an early  Dickens tale and a love-struck ghost disrupts a country estate in Elizabeth Bowen’s  “Green Holly.” The plight of the less fortunate haunts Chekhov’s “Vanka” and Willa  Cather’s “The Burglar’s Christmas” but takes a boisterously comic turn in Damon Runyon’s  “Dancing Dan’s Christmas” and in John Cheever’s “Christmas Is a Sad Season for the  Poor.” From Vladimir Nabokov’s intensely moving story of a father’s grief in “Christmas”  to Truman Capote’s hilarious yet heartbreaking “A Christmas Memory,” from Grace Paley’s  Jewish girl starring in the Christmas pageant in “The Loudest Voice” to the dysfunctional  family ski holiday in Richard Ford’s “Crèche”—each of the stories gathered here is  imbued with Christmas spirit (of one kind or another), and all are richly and indelibly  entertaining.","brand":"Everyman's Library","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44213699248383,"sku":"9780307267177","price":25.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0452\/0886\/2873\/files\/9780307267177_s600x595.jpg?v=1775592790","url":"https:\/\/massivebookshop.com\/products\/9780307267177","provider":"MASSIVE BOOKSHOP","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
