Beasley's Christmas Party

Beasley's Christmas Party

by Booth Tarkington

Beasley's Christmas Party is a melodramatic folksy Christmas story set in early 1900s American culture. It is a story about kindness and compassion, with a touch of romance. The story centers around a crippled child and the kindness that is shown to him by the community. The story also explores the theme of racial inequality, as the black servants in the story are often overlooked and ignored. Despite this, the story promotes kindness and understanding, and is a heartwarming tale of the Christmas spirit.
