I checked out the book, A FAMILY CHRISTMAS BY CAROLINE KENNEDY, from our local public library. It was a beautifully done book, full of Christmas stories, words to Christmas carols, poems, and personal stories about the Kennedy family. It has great illustrations and was definitely the type of book I would like in my personal library. I checked eBay to see if I could find this book in New and Unused condition. I was very happy to find it at a great price. I not only ordered one for myself, but three others to give as Christmas gifts. It is the type of book you can pick up and read a few stories or poems at a time. It is the type of book you can read to your children or grandchildren for a bedtime story. I highly recommend this book. You will get many hours of enjoyment, as the selections in this book really reflect the joys of the Christmas season.Read full review
A great find. Kennedy shows editorial skills that her mother apparently had as well. A compilation of interesting literary, historical, even obscure articles, sketches and poems that really pull together into a picture of Christmas that is not anywhere as frou-frou as its subject may imply. The glimpse into Kennedy's own family from this perspective is a bonus, not by any means the primary appeal. The beauty of a compilation is that someone else pulls together things we might not ever find, and classics we may not have on hand, and hopes to present something appealing in total - she accomplishes that, in my view. I'm hoping to get more bargains on this book on e-bay to share as gifts.
love my book. thank you
