Book Reviews of A Christmas Memory (Tale Blazers)
Book Review: A Note about the Edition
Summary: 3 Stars
A CHRISTMAS MEMORY is Capote's autobiographical short story about an orphaned, 7-year-old boy named Buddy; his fun, elderly woman cousin; their dog Queenie; and their disapproving relatives. It's mischievous, inspirational, and somewhat sad, with a real sense of the 1930s setting and a peek into what likely stirred the writer in Capote.
NOTE: I inadvertently ordered this "Tale Blazers" edition. It is intended for instructional use and includes the text of the short story plus questions and quizzes about vocabulary and reading comprehension. If you're only interested in the text, you can find the story online. But for a more pleasurable reading experience, I recommend the illustrated edition.
