Author Biography: Garrison Keillor
First with his performances on Minnesota Public Radio's Prairie Home Companion and later in his books, Garrison Keillor has become a symbol of the small-town Midwest -- its absurdities, its stoutness, and its warmth. His popular, funny stories set in Lake Wobegon manage to evoke nostalgia for a town that never existed.
Book Synopsis

Garrison Keillor, the show’s cast, and special guests are joined by hundreds of friends and acquaintances in a holiday gala thats sure to become a family favorite and an annual tradition.
