A Penguin Classics Hardcover
This is a collection of the most magical, moving, chilling and surprising Christmas stories from around the world, taking us from frozen Nordic woods to glittering Paris, a New York speakeasy to an English country house, bustling Lagos to midnight mass in Rio, and even outer space.
Here are classic tales from writers including Truman Capote, Shirley Jackson, Dylan Thomas, Saki and Chekhov, as well as little-known treasures such as Italo Calvino's wry sideways look at Christmas consumerism, Wolfdietrich Schnurre's story of festive ingenuity in Berlin, Selma Lagerlof's enchanted forest in Sweden, and Irène Nemerovsky's dark family portrait. Featuring santas, ghosts, trolls, unexpected guests, curmudgeons and miracles, here is Christmas as imagined by some of the greatest short story writers of all time.

BEAUTIFUL JACKETED HARDCOVER WITH SILK RIBBON MARKER
STRONG SALES OF PENGUIN CHRISTMAS CLASSICS: Our six hardcover Penguin Classics Christmas Classics have sold more than 100,000 copies combined since their initial publication in 2014.
CULTURALLY DIVERSE: While other anthologies tend to reproduce the English-language favorites only, this volume spreads its net across the world and includes stories from Brazil, France, Russia, the Philippines, Norway, Belgium, Germany, Portugal, Italy, and Nigeria.
WIDE-RANGING: Includes stone-cold classics by Dylan Thomas, Saki, and Truman Capote as well as little-known gems, such as Daphne du Maurier's wartime tale of a well-to-do family failing to welcome refugee guests, or Angela Carter's mischievous story of three festive ghost ships that disturb the sleep of Puritan settlers. Here, too, are marvelous stories from writers who will be completely new to most English-language readers, including Germany's Wolfdietrich Schnurre and Portugal's Sophia de Mello Breyner Andresen.
