When They Were Young

[Doc Creed]

You may or may not have noticed the following names keep reoccurring on my favorite author lists, specifically Southern writers: Truman Capote, Harper Lee, Carson McCullers and Eudora Welty. I am creating this thread to share youthful photos of these literary giants. A few others, too. If you'd like to comment or share a young picture of your favorite author, feel free.

I don't agree with everything this guy wrote, but he challenges me. He makes me THINK about my stance, opinion, passions.

She shares a slight likeness to Zelda Fitzgerald in this picture. Interesting. I've never seen a picture of du Maurier; young or otherwise.
