Publisher Description

A holiday classic from "one of the greatest writers and most fascinating society figures in American history"!

First published in 1956, this much sought-after autobiographical recollection from Truman Capote about his rural Alabama boyhood is a perfect gift for Capote's fans young and old.

Seven-year-old Buddy inaugurates the Christmas season by crying out to his cousin, Miss Sook Falk: "It's fruitcake weather!" Thus begins an unforgettable portrait of an odd but enduring friendship and the memories the two friends share of beloved holiday rituals.
