Bob Eckstein
Humorist and writer Bob Eckstein has long been fascinated by this ubiquitous symbol of wintertime fun. In this entertaining exploration, he researches the snowman's enigmatic past all the way back to its origins in the Dark Ages. Eckstein's curiosity began playfully, but soon "snowballed" into a (mostly) earnest quest of chasing Frosty around the world. The result is an account that reaches back through centuries and across cultures. Hardcover, $14.95

| | | | | | White Christmas: The Story of an American Song Jody Rosen
When Irving Berlin wrote "White Christmas," he envisioned it as a novelty number for a vaudeville stage revue. But by the time Bing Crosby sang the song in 1942, it had evolved into the stately yuletide ballad that would become the world's top-selling and most widely recorded song. In this vividly written narrative, Jody Rosen provides both the fascinating story behind the making of America's favorite Christmas carol and a cultural history of the nation that embraced it. Paperback, $14.95
