Christmas with Nat King Cole

About this book

Officially licensed with the estate of Nat King Cole and featuring a foreword by his twin daughters, this memoir provides an intimate and rare look at Nat King Coles' holiday songs and invites you to share in the spirit of the season with one of the most iconic artists in history. Nat King Cole was a Grammy winner and is one of the most beloved artists in history, but he was also dedicated to spending time with his loved ones, especially around the holidays. As his iconic songs of the season have given millions the feeling of roasting chestnuts by an open fire, it's fitting to explore his life and work through the lens of the Christmas holiday. Christmas with Nat King Cole takes a behind-the-scenes look at the making and impact of his Christmas album The Magic of Christmas, discusses how "The Christmas Song" came to be, uncovers family memories of what Christmas was like with Nat (elaborate lawn décor!), shares a few family favorite recipes, and so much more. Complete with images and adorned in a cozy and nostalgic package, this is a book you'll find yourself coming back to year after year.
