By Eudora Welty

Favorite Quote: “My mother read secondarily for information; she sank as a hedonist into novels. She read Dickens in the spirit in which she would have eloped with him.”

From the publisher: Part memoir, part exploration of the seeds of creativity, this unique distillation of a writer’s beginnings offers a rare glimpse into the Mississippi childhood that made Eudora Welty the acclaimed and important writer she would become.

Favorite quote: "[A] lovely little book ... polished as it is into a small work of art." — Washington Post
