The Ecco Book of Christmas Stories by Alberto Manguel
Christmas is the storytelling time, the beginning of things expected but not yet seen, of tales suspenseful and mysterious, and full of a comfort of sorts. Internationally acclaimed anthologist Alberto Manguel offers an immensely enjoyable collection of twenty-three brilliant stories from across the globe, written under the merry canopy of Christmas.
The Ecco Book of Christmas Stories includes tales by the best master storytellers, such as The Turkey Season by Alice Munro; Christmas Is a Sad Season for the Poor by John Cheever; Creche by Richard Ford; Horatio's Trick by Ann Beattie; Another Christmas by William Trevor; and The Leaf-Sweeper by Muriel Spark.
The collection also features voices of writers whose work has seldom or never been translated into English, such as A Risk for Father Christmas by Siegfried Lenz and The Night Before Christmas by Theodore Odrach. Eminently readable, The Ecco Book of Christmas Stories is a celebration of the most magical of seasons.
