Located in All Things New Florals and Design by Debra, 817 S Austin Ave., Georgetown, TX 78626, The Little Old Lady's Library is a collection of old, very old and not-so-new books in a variety of genres. From Southern and historical fiction comes the stories of Frank Yerby.
From Wikipedia: "Yerby was originally noted for writing romance novels set in the antebellum South. In mid-century, he began writing a series of best-selling historical novels. In all, he wrote 33 novels.
"In 1946, he published The Foxes of Harrow, a Southern historical romance, which became the first novel by an African American to sell more than a million copies. (In 1936,) he became the first African American to have a book purchased for screen adaptation by a Hollywood studio, when 20th Century Fox optioned Foxes. Ultimately, the book became a 1947 Oscar-nominated film of the same name starring Rex Harrison and Maureen O'Hara."
At Little Old Lady's Library, you'll find The Foxes of Harrow, The Vixens and Goat Song to add to or start your collection of antique/vintage books. (Unless someone found them first!)
Come down to the Most Beautiful Square in Georgetown and take a little time to look through the selections of antiquarian, vintage, Texana, children's, military history, American history, coffee table books and more!
Sit awhile in our easy chairs with soft lamps for making your visit a comfortable one. Hope to see you soon!
