Fig Pudding

Clifford Allyn Abernathy III (just Cliff, for short) is the oldest of six kids in a family that does everything-fighting, laughing, playing, eating, telling stories, and celebrating the holidays-in a big, often outlandish, and sometimes poignant way.
Taking the family from Christmas to Christmas, the chapters of Fig Pudding, narrated by eleven-year-old Cliff, are complete short stories in themselves. Read together, they tell the tale of life in a large, loving family. Besides a fresh look, this edition includes a brand new story.
