Summary

Based on the American Library Association Notable Recording for Children by the same title, these stories of Christmas at home and at Grandma's house are drawn from the familiar body of original stories the author centers in the imagined village of Sulpher Springs, North Carolina. One of the most vividly drawn locales in modern American literature, Davis's Sulpher Springs is complete in geography and characterization. Who doesn't remember the Christmas sights and sounds and smells of Grandma's? The living room aglow with a tree that touches the ceiling, the clatter of silverware and kitchen pans, the banter of relatives, and especially Grandma's bright face--these memories and more are captured by Davis and told through the eyes of a child
