What's it About?

For decades, readers have cherished two holiday stories by one of America's greatest writers. Truman Capote is famous as the author of In Cold Blood and Breakfast at Tiffany's, but his autobiographical stories, A Christmas Memory and The Thanksgiving Visitor, were his own personal favorites. These vividly written, heart-warming and very funny tales recall Capote's boyhood best friend, Miss Sook (Linda Dorff.) Seven-year-old Capote, sent to live with reluctant relatives during the Depression, formed his closest childhood bond with Sook, an elderly and somewhat child-like female cousin. Life was always full of wonder for Miss Sook, who took a bookish, introverted and sometimes bitter little boy and opened his eyes to the world around him. Their adventures-wonderfully chronicled in these stories-will move and delight your entire family.
