[Signed] Kennedy, Caroline. A Family Christmas. First Edition. 2007. Book is in very good condition; dust jacket is in good condition—jacket has a repaired tear to the front cover. Book is signed “Caroline Kennedy” on the page following the flyleaf. Illustrated by Jon J. Muth and Laura Hartman Maestro.
It is nearly a certainty that thirty years hence, even unsigned copies of this marvelous Christmas literary anthology will be highly coveted. Not a coffee table book but larger than average size to accommodate frequent illustration, it collects some of Kennedy’s favorite holiday-themed poems, essays, songs, monologues, and stories from Shakespeare, Truman Capote, Ogden Nash, David Sedaris, et al., as well as her own recollections of family Christmases. It is a beautiful package—and one that does not even need to be unwrapped.
“In our family, with the exception of a few Christmas cookies, [holiday] preparations tended to the literary rather than the culinary.”
