A literary lover’s holiday delight! AMERICAN HOLIDAY STORIES comprises three tales of memory and joy that bring together masters Truman Capote, Thornton Wilder, and a third surprise story! In Capote’s "A Christmas Memory," he recalls an idyllic southern holiday season when, as a young boy, he baked fruitcakes, gathered holly, and flew kites with the beloved eccentric cousin who raised him and inspired him to become a writer. Then, one continuous scene of Wilder’s "The Long Christmas Dinner" chronicles six generations of an enterprising American dynasty into a seamless series of family Christmas gatherings that capture the poignancy of family life. Finally, we end with a surprise story that will delight and enchant audiences!
