The inimitable Garrison Keillor spins "a Christmas tale that
makes Dickens seem unimaginative by comparison" ("Charlotte
Creative Loafing")
Snow is falling all across the Midwest as James Sparrow, a
country- bumpkin-turned-energy-drink-tycoon, and his wife awaken in
their sky- rise apartment overlooking Chicago. Even down with the
stomach bug, Mrs. Sparrow yearns to see "The Nutcracker" while
James yearns only to escape-the faux-cheer, the bitter cold, the
whole Christmas season. An urgent phone call from his hometown of
Looseleaf, North Dakota, sends James into the midst of his lunatic
relatives and a historic blizzard. As he hunkers weather the storm,
the electricity goes out and James is visited by a parade of
figures who deliver him an epiphany worthy of the season, just in
time to receive Mrs. Sparrow's wonderful Christmas gift. Garrison
Keillor's holiday farce is the perfect gift for the millions of
fans who tune into "A Prairie Home Companion" every week.
