Extravagant Gifts.

For M.F.K Fisher, a good holiday was characterized by “lots of books for Christmas, stockings, candy, and nice gloves.”

I can’t help you find the best assortment of candy and charms, but if you’re still shopping for books, you’re in luck. Here, some ideas for the hungry-thirsty-globetrotting (M.F.K. Fisher loving) readers on your list:

An Extravagant Hunger: The Passionate Years of M.F.K. Fisher

{The biography about the hidden life of the woman who was considered “the finest writer on food now using the English language.”}

Love In A Dish, And Other Culinary Delights

{A beautiful pocketbook sized collection of lesser-known Fisher works -- it makes a great hostess gift!}

M.F.K. Fisher: Musings on Wine and Other Libations

{New in June 2012, a gorgeous hardcover book with lots of photographs!}

If you’d like a signed copy, email me at writtenbyaz@gmail.com to buy one directly from me. If you like, I’ll even wrap and mail it to the recipient. Or, buy these books in store (from your local bookseller!) or online.

May you have the happiest of holidays and thank you for supporting books, bookstores, authors, and me!

xoxo
