Interesting writing comes from an interesting life. Come find out about Joel Chandler Harris, Ms. Christie, and many other famed authors.
Don’t forget to pick up a stash of magazines for road trips, a true bargain at $.25 each. Magazines are displayed on the rack outside the Bookshelf and in the non-fiction “back room” as well.
