Appalachian Christmas Stories compiled and edited by James M. Gifford, Owen B. Nance, and Patricia A. Hall.

This book makes a perfect gift, especially to those who hold Kentucky dear, as all the writers here have deep connections to that state. And the writers are almost all very distinguished - Jesse Stuart, of course, and Loyal Jones, and Jim Wayne Miller, and Harry Caudill, and Thomas B. Clark comprise the bulk of the book. What a wonderful way to get in the Christmas spirit!
