One of the most popular Christmas tales ever written, this heartwarming classic, based on the Frank Capra film, follows George Bailey, whose dreams of life outside the boundaries of Bedford Falls lie crushed beneath the weight of family and community. On Christmas Eve, demoralized and intent on ending his life, a last-minute reprieve comes in the guise of a Guardian Angel, who intervenes to show George how the lives of his family and friends would have been diminished without him in it. An enduring and endearing parable of love, honor and friendship.
