Now joining Everymanâ€™s Libraryâ€”the most extensive and distinguished collectible library of the worldâ€™s greatest worksâ€”is an appealing new collection in a small Pocket Classics format, perfect for gift giving and reading pleasure.,Christmas Stories, is a treasury of short fiction by great writers of the past two centuriesâ€”from Dickens and Tolstoy to John Updike and Alice Munro. As a literary subject, Christmas has inspired everything from intimate domestic dramas to fanciful flights of the imagination, and the full range of its expression is represented in this wonderfully engaging anthology. ,Goblins frolic in the graveyard of an early Dickens tale and a love-struck ghost disrupts a country estate in Elizabeth Bowenâ€™s â€œGreen Holly.â€ The plight of the less fortunate haunts Chekhovâ€™s â€œVankaâ€ and Willa Catherâ€™s â€œThe Burglarâ€™s Christmasâ€ but takes a boisterously comic turn in Damon Runyonâ€™s â€œDancing Danâ€™s Christmasâ€ and in John Cheeverâ€™s â€œChristmas Is a Sad Season for the Poor.â€ From Vladimir Nabokovâ€™s intensely moving story of a fatherâ€™s grief in â€œChristmasâ€ to Truman Capoteâ€™s hilarious yet heartbreaking â€œA Christmas Memory,â€ from Grace Paleyâ€™s Jewish girl starring in the Christmas pageant in â€œThe Loudest Voiceâ€ to the dysfunctional family ski holiday in Richard Fordâ€™s â€œCrÃ¨cheâ€â€”each of the stories gathered here is imbued with Christmas spirit (of one kind or another), and all are richly and indelibly entertaining.,TABLE OF CONTENTS,Charles Dickens,The Story of the Goblins Who Stole a Sexton,(from The Pickwick Papers),Nikolai Gogol,The Night Before Christmas,Arthur Conan Doyle,The Blue Carbuncle,Anthony Trollope,Christmas at Thompson Hall,Leo Tolstoy,Where Love is, God is,Anton Checkhov,Vanka,Willa Cather,The Burglar's Christmas,O.
