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 collection. Goblins frolic in the graveyard of an early Dickens tale; a love-struck ghost disrupts a country estate in Elizabeth Bowen''s ''Green Holly''; devils, witches, Cossacks and peasants cavort in Gogol''s ''The Night Before Christmas''. 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 John Cheever''s ''Christmas is a Sad Season for the Poor''. From 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 in the Christmas pageant in ''The Loudest Voice'' to the dysfunctional family ski holiday in Richard Ford''s ''Creche'' - each of the stories is imbued with Christmas spirit of one kind or another, and all are richly and indelibly entertaining.

One of six beloved Christmas classics in collectible hardcover editions Christmas at Thompson Hall brings together the best of the Christmas stories of Anthony Trollope, one of the most successful, prolific, and respected English novelists of the nineteenth century. Characterized by insightful, psychologically rich, and sometimes wryly humorous depictions of the middle class and gentry of Victorian England—and inspired occasionally by missives in the “lost letter” box of the provincial post office that Trollope ran—these tales helped to enshrine the traditions of the decorated Christmas tree, the holiday turkey, and the giving of store-bought gifts. Today, they open a window onto a time when carolers filled the streets and each house’s door displayed a wreath of evergreen boughs, a time at once distant and yet startlingly familiar. Penguin Christmas Classics Give the gift of literature this Christmas. Penguin Christmas Classics honor the power of literature to keep on giving through the ages. The six volumes in the series are not only our most beloved Christmas tales, they also have given us much of what we love about the holiday itself.

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.
