Christmas Days
Jeanette WintersonHoliday stories and recipes by the bestselling author of Why Be Happy When You Could Be Normal? comes an enchanting collection of stories for the holiday season: "...otherworldly and wickedly funny” (New York Times Book Review).
"Spooky, inventive, funny, maybe a tad didactic or cloying here and there, Winterson’s mixed bag of fictional treats has a 19th-century charm much needed in the grim 21st." - Kirkus Reviews
For years Jeanette Winterson has loved writing a new story at Christmas time, inspired by the mysteries and traditions of the season. Here she brings together twelve of her funny and bold tales, along with twelve delicious recipes for the Twelve Days of Christmas.
From jovial spirits to a donkey with a golden nose, a haunted house to a SnowMama, Winterson’s original and imaginative stories encompass the childlike and spooky wonder of Christmas. These tales pair perfectly with Winterson’s original recipes, or ones contributed by literary friends including Ruth Rendell, Kathy Acker, and others.
"Throughout it, she alerts us to the true meaning and message of Christmas - subtly, not by way of strident preaching or saccharine storytelling... Winterson’s trove of 12 stories and 12 feasts feels like a literary advent calendar, a series of surprise treats to savour slowly. It is a joyous collection, one we should read this Christmas, and in Christmases to come." - Malcolm Forbes, The Minneapolis Star Tribune
Enjoy the season of peace and goodwill, mystery, and a little bit of magic with this “holiday treasure… to be pulled out on a December night, fireside, and read aloud” (New York Times Book Review).
