#fridayreads: Famous Literary Birthdays

Now that the turkey, side dishes, and pies are a delicious memory it's the perfect time to celebrate famous literary birthdays. And how best to do that? Baking a cake for these authors of the past might be a bit tricky. They would probably appreciate it more if readers devour their words.  Three famous writers were born on November 29 -- Louisa May Alcott, Madeleine L'Engle, and C.S. Lewis.  November 30 is the birthday of Jonathan Swift and Mark Twain. Thus far there has never been a birthday on November 31 or on the 31st of Never. At Jessup Library we tend to stick to a standard calendar but you never know when you might slip through a wrinkle in time and travel to a land where time moves backward.
