With over 50 memorable chapters, this all-new 11th edition brings to life both recent holiday stories and memories from long ago. Now a genuine annual Christmas tradition, the Cape Breton's Christmas series has become a lasting part of our lives. Families gather around the tree to read from it on Christmas morning, and many share stories over the phone with friends and family living away. Cape Breton's Christmas includes both well-known authors as well as many exciting discoveries. And the added joy of this book is in knowing that all the royalties from sales of this unique book are donated to Feed Nova Scotia—over $12,000 so far.

From the hilarious to the heartbreaking, Cape Breton's Christmas is a collection of stories you will save and share and return to—year after year.
