The Writer's Tale

New York Winter Landscape ~ Madison Square Park Snow                                       Vivienne Gucwa
In this little piece written for McCall's magazine in 1961, author Harper Lee tells of one very special Christmas. Unable to get home for the holidays, she stayed in New York, a city that, at that time of year, was to her strange in its familiarity. Missing what she realized was her memories of Christmases past, she spent the evening before and the day with a young family she had come to know and love. It was a Christmas that resulted, ultimately, in her gift to the world, her classic To Kill a Mockingbird: http://www.theguardian.com/books/2015/dec/12/harper-lee-my-christmas-in-new-york?utm_source=esp&utm_medium=Email&utm_campaign=GU+Today+USA+-+Version+CB+thumb&utm_term=143467&subid=15193625&CMP=ema_565b
