Alistair Cooke, Christmas Eve, 1952. Cover by Marc Simont.
A mid-century English holiday tradition was the Christmas Eve radio broadcast by Anglo-American journalist Alistair Cooke. In each year’s program, he would tell a story pertaining to the celebration of Christmas in America. Though he claimed they were fact, they read suspiciously like fiction. One year a story involved a man in training to be a department store Santa. Another year detailed the plight of a Southern California family who had never experienced a white Christmas. The manuscripts for those stories were collected into this illustrated book.
