For the first time, author Quentin Schultze, who taught storytelling with screenwriter Jean Shepherd, reveals the secret parables that Shepherd included in his screenplay for A Christmas Story. Now you won't need a decoder ring to learn why the Old Man's leg lamp is his trophy wife, why the bully is named Scut, why there is a Bumpus in all of us, why Mom and the kids give a Bronx cheer after singing Jingle Bells in the Olds, and so much more. Take a fun-loving and insightful romp through the 20 life lessons in the Christmas classic, based exclusively on the author's friendship with Shepherd. Includes a special appendix on Shepherd's 7-step process for telling humorous stories; perfect for teachers, pastors, writers, leaders, and the like.​​​​​​​ P.S. Turn on your leg lamp to read this amazing book at night! Includes line drawings, special text boxes, and trivia questions.
