Book Description
“A Little Fruitcake” is a beautifully packaged collection of hilarious and moving stories from the childhood of David Valdes Greenwood, author of “Homo Domesticus”. The twelve tales – one for each of the days of Christmas – include accounts of a manger masterpiece designed in Lego; a Christmas wish come true, then spirited away; the unveiling of Santa Claus; Dave’s God-fearing Grammy and her famous Lula boxes; a Christmas pageant with too many wise men; a conniving brother who gives new meaning to the name “Scrooge”; a Christmas charity event gone awry; and of course, the day that Dave finally discovers the true meaning of the season.
