This holiday season, Dave Barry offers a classic Christmas story. Only with a few unclassic elements, like a Betsy Wetsy Jesus Doll and a canine corpse.
Barry talks about why he decided to write The Shepherd, the Angel and Walter the Christmas Miracle Dog, a "quasi-autobiographical" tale set in 1960 in the New York suburb of Asquont. Read on for his chat with NPR's Neal Conan and an excerpt from the book.
