A Child's Christmas in Wales by Dylan Thomas, published in 1953, is a holiday classic
- and Paul Shapiro brings it to magical life like no one else:
"One Christmas was so much like another, in those years around the sea-town corner now and out of all sound except the distant speaking of the voices I sometimes hear a moment before sleep, that I can never remember whether it snowed for six days and six nights when I was twelve or whether it snowed for twelve days and twelve nights when I was six."
A Christmas Memory by Truman Capote describes the lives of seven-year-old Buddy and his elderly cousin Sook. The evocative narrative focuses on country life, friendship, and the joy of giving, and it also gently yet poignantly touches on loneliness and loss. Read by Vashon favorites Lisa Breen and Phil Dunn.
"It's always the same: a morning arrives in November, and my friend, as though officially inaugurating the Christmas time of year that exhilarates her imagination and fuels the blaze of her heart, announces: "It's fruitcake weather! Fetch our buggy. Help me find my hat."
