A Christmas Story
Only a truly hilarious film such as A Christmas Story could be played for 24 hours straight and still find an eager audience every holiday season.
This edition of A Christmas Story gathers together in one volume the gems of autobiographical humor that Jean Shepherd drew upon to create this enduring film. You’ll remember 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 snow with the odious bullies Scut Farkas and Grover Dill, and Ralphie's unstoppable campaign to convince Santa to give him a Red Ryder air rifle while ignoring the whole adult world telling him, "You'll shoot your eye out."
The pieces that comprise A Christmas Story were previously published in the larger collections In God We Trust, All Others Pay Cash and Wanda Hickey's Night of Golden Memories. This magical book is an irresistible piece of Americana, the equal of the film in its ability to warm the heart and tickle the funny bone.
