Clifford Allyn Abernathy III (just Cliff, for short) is the oldest of
six kids in a family that does everything--fighting, laughing, playing,
eating, telling stories, and celebrating the holidays--in a big, often
outlandish, and sometimes poignant way.
Taking the family from Christmas to Christmas, the chapters of Fig
Pudding, narrated by eleven-year-old Cliff, are complete short stories
in themselves--full of quick-paced, hilarious action and the warmth and
love of a close-knit family. This new edition includes an original
story.
