With the same incomparable style and warm, inviting voice that have made her beloved by millions of readers far and wide, New York Times bestselling author Fannie Flagg has written an enchanting Christmas story of faith and hope for all ages that is sure to become a classic. Deep in the southernmost part of Alabama, along the banks of a lazy winding river, lies the sleepy little community known … community known as Lost River, a place that time itself seems to have forgotten. After a startling diagnosis from his doctor, Oswald T. Campbell leaves behind the cold and damp of the oncoming Chicago winter to spend what he believes will be his last Christmas in the warm and welcoming town of Lost River. There he meets the postman who delivers mail by boat, the store owner who nurses a broken heart, the ladies of the Mystic Order of the Royal Polka Dots Secret Society, who do clandestine good works. And he meets a little redbird named Jack, who is at the center of this tale of a magical Christmas when something so amazing happened that those who witnessed it have never forgotten it. Once you experience the wonder, you too will never forget A Redbird Christmas.

Loved it
This was a delightful book. Fannie Flagg usually creates some quite different characters in her stories and this book is no exception. The story takes some twists and turns, even some surprises here and there. The major characters are totally endearing. Just a wonderful way to spend some time.
Good book.
Loved this book! True to form for this author. Delightful characters, humorous dialog. A few interesting twists and turns!
I always like Flagg’s stories. This one is no exception. The characters are believable and keep you attention throughout the book.
I first read this book many years ago and feel in love with the setting and characters. We downloaded to audible and listened to it while driving to our Christmas destination. What a treat!
I enjoy Fannie Flags Book,and found this an easy read,with interesting story,and characters!
Sweet story.
Fun book with nice characters
Fannie Flagg always entertains and leaves a smile. I re-read this annually. Audiobook is best; read by Ms. Flagg herself.
Made me laugh. Enjoyed the characters
enjoyable. surprising twists. an interesting connection between supportive community and the ability to stay away from alcohol (even though the community did not know the main character was alcoholic) and the ability to thrive and learn new things.
It was a delight to read this book and watch the characters develop.
A Fannie Flagg book is like spending the afternoon by the fire sipping a cup of hot tea or chocolate–whatever happens to be your favorite. You know you’re going to enjoy it. You know you’re going to like the characters and after you finish reading, you’re going to be in an upbeat mood.
Fanny Flagg is my favorite author. I’m from Alabama and like to read about the people and places familiar to me. Her stories are warm and fun to read.
