Season''s Greetings captures the mood of New York City and its people, their humor, fantasies, grudges, and hopes. Full of the atmosphere of the 1940s, it''s like taking a trip back in time, walking through snowy streets, traveling by bus and subway, squeezing through crowded department store aisles or sipping a coffee at the counter of an all-night diner. A veteran reporter, Herbert Clyde Lewis creates an unforgettable portrait of Manhattan at both its seediest and most inspiring. Out of print since 1941, Season''s Greetings is long overdue for recognition as one of the great novels of Christmas.
