First Edition of John Grisham's Skipping Christmas; Signed by Him
First edition of this modern Christmas classic, basis for the 2004 film Christmas with the Kranks. Octavo, original half cloth. Signed by John Grisham on the half-title page. Fine in a fine dust jacket. Jacket design by John Fontana. Jacket illustration by Andrew Davidson.
Luther and Nora Krank are fed up with the chaos of Christmas. The endless shopping lists, the frenzied dashes through the mall, the hassle of decorating the tree... where has all the joy gone? This year, celebrating seems like too much effort. With their only child off in Peru, they decide that just this once, they'll skip the holidays. They spend their Christmas budget on a Caribbean cruise set to sail on December 25, and happily settle in for a restful holiday season free of rooftop snowmen and festive parties. It was the basis for the 2004 film directed by Joe Roth, written and produced by Chris Columbus, starring Tim Allen, Jamie Lee Curtis, Dan Aykroyd, Erik Per Sullivan, Cheech Marin, Jake Busey, and M. Emmet Walsh.
