A continuation of the very popular Very Christmas Series, this
collection brings together the best French Christmas stories of all time
in an elegant and vibrant volume featuring classics by Guy de Maupassant
and Alphonse Daudet, plus stories by the esteemed twentieth century
author Irène Némirovsky and contemporary writers Dominique Fabre and
Jean-Philippe Blondel. With a holiday spirit conveyed through sparkling
Paris streets, opulent feasts, wandering orphans, kindly monks, homesick
soldiers, oysters, ham, bonbons, flickering desire, and more than a
little wine, this collection encapsulates Noël and proves that the
French have mastered Christmas. This is Christmas à la
française--delicious, intense and unexpected--proving that nobody does
Christmas like the French.
