<p>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. <p/> Taking the family from Christmas to Christmas, the chapters of <i>Fig Pudding, </i> 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.</p>
