The Penguin Book of Christmas Stories: From Hans Christian Andersen to Angela Carter by Jessica Harrison

3.0

A decent collection with one or two of my favorite stories of all time in there which include, "A Christmas Memory" by Truman Capote and "A Visit to the Bank" by Shirley Jackson, along with new favorites like Angela Carter's "Ghost Ships", "Christmas Morning" by Frank O'Connor, and Grace Paley's "The Loudest Voice". Some are funny, some are beautiful, some are sad, and some are not really Christmas-y at all. So overall I say it deserves a 3/5 stars. Not amazing, but not awful. Just meh.
