Requests:  0 Summary:  "Christmas took on its modern cast in America, and over the last 150 years the most magical time of the year has inspired scores of astonishingly diverse and ingenious stories. Library of America joins with acclaimed author Connie Willis to present a unparalleled collection of American stories about Christmas, literary gems that showcase how the holiday became one of the signature aspects of our culture. Spanning from the origins of the American tradition of holiday storytelling in the wake of the Civil War to today, this is the biggest and best anthology of American Christmas stories ever assembled. From ghost stories to the genres of crime, science fiction, fantasy, westerns, humor, and horror, stories of Christmas morning, gifts, wise men, nativities, family, commercialism, and dinners from New York to Texas to outer space, this anthology reveals the evolution of Christmas in America--as well as the surprising ways in which it has remained the same."--Amazon.   Copy/Holding information Location Collection Call No. Status   Aina Haina Public Library Adult Nonfiction 813.01083 Am Checked In Add Copy to MyList Hanapepe Public Library Adult Fiction AMERICAN Checked In Add Copy to MyList Hawaii Kai Public Library Adult Nonfiction 813.01083 Am Checked In Add Copy to MyList Hawaii State Library Language, Literature & History 813.01083 Am Checked In Add Copy to MyList Kaimuki Public Library Adult Nonfiction 813.01083 Am Checked In Add Copy to MyList Kapolei Public Library Adult Nonfiction 813.01083 Am Checked In Add Copy to MyList Mililani Public Library Adult Nonfiction 813.01083 Am Checked In Add Copy to MyList Nanakuli Public Library Adult Nonfiction 813.01083 Am Checked In Add Copy to MyList
