Beasley's Christmas Party is a sharply observed, warmhearted tale of a very unusual holiday gathering. Mr. Beasley is a remarkably quiet gentleman, especially for a politician. He lives alone and never gives his neighbors any trouble. So when he starts behaving strangely, the cub reporter that just moved in next door decides to investigate. What starts out as idle curiosity grows in intensity as Beasley becomes a favored contender for the governor's seat, and culminates in a Christmas Eve to remember. This romantic and funny story was reputedly a favorite of Mark Twain's, and may very well become one of yours!

This review is from: Beasley's Christmas Party (Paperback)
This is a beautifully written story from a great american author about a shy man who hardly speaks, overcoming his shyness for the sake of an imaginative little boy who is ill. An excellent book to read aloud at Christmas.

Nice Holiday Tale,
By A Customer
This review is from: Beasley's Christmas Party (Library Binding)
It is a short novel, about 100 pages, large print. Has nice illustrations that make it a worthy keep sake.Aside from that, it is the story of a rather quiet man who hardly says anything at all. He is in the state's congress and is well respected by his peers and constituents. However, his neighbors begin to see him acting strangely. He talks to himself and is doing strange things around his house. However, all is not what it seems to be and comes to fruition on Christmas Eve. I didn't find myself totally into the holiday spirit after reading the book, however, I did like the "quaint" and "folksy" attitude of the book. Something fun to read in the course of an hour. Not Tarkington's best, but definitely interesting and motivating for the holidays.
