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".

I read this and the thanksgiving Visitor because a friend of mind decided to make fruitcakes as a way to honor the holiday spirit. It was fun to read them and remember the programs as seen on TV when much younger. Geraldine Paige, I love her. ( )

A sweet description of one Christmas by a seven-year-old boy. ( )

As others have said, Capote writes well. However, it is enhanced by the fact that for many years this story was presented as a little play at Christ Church Cathdral in Houston. A locally reknowned actress, Bettye Fitzpatrick, played Skook. It doesn't happen any more.

Book description

Amazon.com (ISBN 0375837892, Hardcover)

A Christmas Memory is the classic memoir of Truman Capote's childhood in rural Alabama. Until he was ten years old, Capote lived with distant relatives. This book is an autobiographical story of those years and his frank and fond memories of one of his cousins, Miss Sook Faulk. The text is illustrated with full color illustrations that add greatly to the story without distracting from Capote's poignant prose.
