Editorial Reviews

Product Description
The maple-bordered street was as still as a country Sunday; so quiet that there seemed an echo to my footsteps. It was four o'clock in the morning; clear October moonlight misted through the thinning foliage to the shadowy sidewalk and lay like a transparent silver fog upon the house of my admiration, as I strode along, returning from my first night's work on the Wainwright Morning Despatch.

4.0 out of 5 stars Nice Holiday Tale, February 21, 2000

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.

5.0 out of 5 stars magical, March 2, 2009

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.
