A Christmas Story by Shepherd, Jean Edition ILL, 1 $13.99 A beloved, bestselling classic of humorous and nostalgic Americana—the book that inspired the equally classic Yuletide film.The holiday film A Christmas Story, first released in 1983, has become a bona fide Christmas perennial, gaining in stature and fame with each succeeding year. Its affectionate, wacky, and wryly realistic portrayal of an American family’s typical Christmas joys and travails in small-town Depression-era Indiana has entered our imagination and our hearts with a force equal to It’s a Wonderful Life and Miracle on 34th Street.This edition of A Christmas Story gathers together in one hilarious volume the gems of autobiographical humor that Jean Shepherd drew upon to create this enduring film. Here is young Ralphie Parker’s shocking discovery that his decoder ring is really a device to promote Ovaltine; his mother and father’s pitched battle over the fate of a lascivious leg lamp; the unleashed and unnerving savagery of Ralphie’s duel in the show with the odious bullies Scut Farkas and Grover Dill; and, most crucially, Ralphie’s unstoppable campaign to get Santa—or anyone else—to give him a Red Ryder carbine action 200-shot range model air rifle. Who cares that the whole adult world is telling him, “You’ll shoot your eye out, kid”?The pieces that comprise A Christmas Story, previously published in the larger collections In God We Trust, All Others Pay Cash and Wanda Hickey’s Night of Golden Memories, coalesce in a magical fashion to become an irresistible piece of Americana, quite the equal of the film in its ability to warm the heart and tickle the funny bone. |

Christmas Story (Collector’s Edition) $39.92 The Christmas spirit isn’t served up with more observant hilarity than in this beloved adaptation of Jean Shepherd’s holiday story. In 1940s Indiana, nine-year-old Ralphie (Peter Billingsley) dreams of his ideal Christmas gift: a genuine Red Ryder 200-shot Carbine Action Air Rifle. But when gruff dad (Darren McGavin) and doting mom (Melinda Dillion) regularly respond with You’ll shoot your eye out! Ralphie mounts a full-scale Santa-begging campaign. He encounters a slew of calamities from snowsuit paralysis to the dreaded tongue-on-a-frozen-flagpole gambit. We triple-dog-dare you to unwrap a more welcome Yuletide classic!Synopsis: It’s Christmas time and there’s only one thing on Ralphie Parker’s Christmas list this year: a Red Ryder Carbine Action 200-Shot, Range Model Air Rifle, but many obstacles stand in the way of his dream because every adult that he confronts keeps telling him he’ll shoot his eye out. Meanwhile The Old Man just got a major award (a lamp shaped like a woman’s leg), and Mom is making sure The Old Man doesn’t come near her turkey, Ralphie’s friend gets his tongue stuck to a flag pole, and Ralphie utters the f-word infront of his father. Christmas is drawing nearer and Ralphie visits Santa at the department store in hopes of asking him for his dream gift. Will he receive it? Let’s hope so.

Sir Gawain and the Green Knight: A New Verse Translation $25.95 Sir Gawain and the Green Knight, an Arthurian fable penned by an anonymous bard in the early 1400s, remained hidden for most of English history; the sole remaining copy of the manuscript wasn’t discovered until Victorian times. Since then, it’s become something of a Christmas classic: Written in a distinctive alliterative style that harkens to the earliest forms of English poetry, it meanders through dangerous castles and visits enchanted creatures on quests of honor. The story goes like this: In the middle of Christmas revelry, as everyone’s about to eat the roast, an enormous green giant party-crashes Arthur’s court. He challenges startled onlookers to a game: Let someone deal a blow to the Green Knight’s bare neck, then offer his own bare neck in return, a year hence. Not surprisingly, this invitation gets few takers — until Arthur’s cousin, Gawain, noted for honor, rises. Unfortunately, when he lops off the giant’s head, the green beast picks it up and rides out the door, all the while instructing Gawain to come find him next New Year’s. Fast-forward: In the waxen light of the following Christmas, Gawain sets out to complete his mission — and perhaps to meet his doom. In the meantime, he’s waylaid by a tempting queen, offered protection by a mysterious lord, and led to his final showdown. It’s an unforgettable story, and now it’s been lit again with the lamp of keen language. The rich tapestry of sporting, courting, hunting and wooing — of verbal sparring and physical spearing — is available anew in an energetic verse translation by noted British poet Simon Armitage. Among the joys of rediscovering Gawain is one this edition offers: the chance to look across the page and feel the violent strife and courtly play roiling beneath the old English. It’s hard not to be moved by lines like these, where Gawain takes a swing at the beast’s green head: “Let hit doun lightly on the naked, / That the scharp of the schalk schyndered on the bones, / And schrank |

The Trimmed Lamp and Other Stories of the Four Million $0.99 1923. William Sydney Porter (O. Henry) was the most popular short story writer of his time. His stories typically revolved around two of his favorite themes, the situation of the impostor and fate as the one unavoidable reality of life. Another device he used was the surprise ending, usually coming about through coincidence. He was the founder of the humorous weekly The Rolling Stone. When the weekly failed, he joined the Houston Post as a reporter and columnist. He was convicted of embezzling money, although there’s much debate over his actual guilt, and while in prison he started to write short stories. His first work, Whistling Dick’s Christmas Stocking appeared in McClure’s Magazine. After emerging from prison Porter changed his name to O. Henry. He then moved to New York and wrote a story a week for the New York World, also publishing in other magazines. His stories deal for the most part with ordinary people: clerks, policemen, waitresses and most are set in his contemporary present, the early years of the 20th century. In the title story, The Trimmed Lamp, he offers a sentimental and moralistic portrait of the after-hours lives of young New York working women. See other titles by this author available from Kessinger Publishing. |
