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.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Rye Books","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":55731529777528,"sku":"9780241474426","price":9.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"url":"https:\/\/ryebooks.co.uk\/products\/9780241474426","provider":"Rye Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
