It
doesn't snow much in the Hub City, but with this lively and
diverse collection, it's definitely snowing stories.
Thirty-two Spartanburg writers
contributed seasonal stories to this book, which has been
a favorite in the area for many years. These authors invite
you to spend Christmas in Campobello, King's Creek, Cowpens,
Camp Croft, Clifton and Converse Heights. They take you to
the lights of Hampton Heights, Woodridge and a Dickensian
downtown, allowing you to wander through tales of "Christmas
Cotton," "Granddaddy's Song," and "The
Christmas Stick," among many, many others.
Interspersed throughout this
chorus of yuletide voices are historical snippets of Spartanburg
Christmases past: diary entries from the Civil Way, recollections
from the Great Depression, and memories of the heyday of downtown.
Buy this book as a gift, but
also buy it for yourself. These stories are sure to become
Christmas traditions in Spartanburg for years to come.
Merry Christmas from the Hub
City Writers Project!
