'A Redbird Christmas' is topic of Derby Public Library book discussion
DERBY - The next Derby Public Library Lunchtime Book Discussion will feature A Redbird Christmas by Fannie Flagg.
The November/December discussion will be held at 12:30 p.m. Nov. 28.
From the beloved author of Fried Green Tomatoes at the Whistle Stop Cafe comes her latest New York Times bestseller - a Yuletide classic about small-town America and larger-than-life wonders.
With the same incomparable style and warm inviting voice that have made her beloved by millions of readers far and wide, author Fannie Flagg has written an enchanting Christmas story of faith and hope for all ages that is sure to become a classic.
Oswald T. Campbell leaves behind the cold and damp weather of the oncoming Chicago winter to spend what he believes will be his last Christmas in the warm and welcoming town of Lost River.
There he meets the postman who delivers mail by boat, the store owner who nurses a broken heart, the ladies of the Mystic Order of the Royal Polka Dots Secret Society, who do clandestine good works.
And he meets a little redbird named Jack, who is at the center of this tale of a magical Christmas when something so amazing happened that those who witnessed it have never forgotten it.
Lunchtime Book Discussions are held the last Wednesday of the month and are free and open to the public.
Multiple copies of the book will be available at the circulation desk. Drop-ins are welcome; no registration required.
For further information call 203-736-1482. The Library is at 313 Elizabeth St.
