Lemuria Reads Mississippians: Eudora Welty
An ultimate compliment for Lemuria was to be Eudora Welty’s hometown bookstore. Her graceful light shone on us as she shared her heart. Through her goodness and belief in our work, she gave herself in our support. Eudora’s sharing of her love for books made Lemuria better. Her wisdom guided our evolution, enabling us to be the bookstore we are today. Our Queen of Literature in Mississippi.

John, Do you remember something funny or unique about Eudora when she came to the store?

Love this blurb! She was extraordinary, wasn’t she?

Miss Welty always loved browsing the mysteries and the children’s section where she bought books for her nieces and nephews. She was always delighted and appreciative of new discoveries in both sections. It was always a treat and a joy to say the least to see her coming through the door.

Thanks John, she did love Lemuria and all of the people there. I always heard she would read the children’s books before selecting one for her great nieces or great nephews. I always looked forward to seeing the book. She could find the best books for them.
I like the photo chosen for Mississippians. Eudora and Erica Jong! Two amazing yet very different women. Or were they really that different. ;~) I wonder what they were talking about . . .
