Christmas is the storytelling time, the beginning of things expected but not yet seen, of tales suspenseful and mysterious, and full of a comfort of sorts. Internationally acclaimed anthologist Alberto Manguel offers an immensely enjoyable collection of twenty-three brilliant stories from across the globe, written under the merry canopy of Christmas. The Ecco Book of Christmas Stories includes tales by the best master storytellers, such as and “The Turkey Season and ” by Alice Munro; and “Christmas Is a Sad Season for the Poor and ” by John Cheever; and “Cr#232;che and ” by Richard Ford; and “Horatio’s Trick and ” by Ann Beattie; and “Another Christmas and ” by William Trevor; and and “The Leaf-Sweeper and ” by Muriel Spark. The collection also features voices of writers whose work has seldom or never been translated into English, such as and “A Risk for Father Christmas and ” by Siegfried Lenz and and “The Night Before Christmas and ” by Theodore Odrach. Eminently readable, The Ecco Book of Christmas Stories is a celebration of the most magical of seasons.
