Holiday Memories December 19, 2009

The Sweater (1980), by Sheldon Cohen, animates a story by Roch Carrier set in rural Québec during the 1940s. This funny, poignant tale recalls a boy’s passion for playing hockey and the perils of wearing the wrong team jersey.

Dylan Thomas’ A Child’s Christmas in Wales (1963) offers an intimate glimpse of another era, preserved through old photographs and the poet’s resonant memories of childhood and snow.
