Women of Letters by Tom Tierney - Eight Paper Dolls!

Learn about eight famous women writers in this wonderful new book by Tom Tierney! Paper dolls and costumes represent novelists Edna Ferber, author of Show Boat, Stage Door and Giant; Little Women's Louisa May Alcott and Margaret Mitchell of Gone with The Wind fame. Poets Emily Dickinson and Emma Lazarus are duly represented. Tom Tierney had a lively sense of humor and he must have chuckled when he decided that his Women of Letters should include Emily Post’s polite tome Etiquette as well as Fannie Farmer and her famous cookbook. Star reporter Nellie Bly rounds out this amazing collection.

This is a special colorful edition of a b&w set Tom Tierney illustrated in 1986, with color adeptly added by Julie Allen Matthews. Quotes and mini bios accompany each author. In 1922, Nellie Bly expressed, "I have never written a word that did not come from my heart. I never shall." It warms our hearts to re-introduce paper doll gems by Tom Tierney, thanks to our partnership with Tom's niece, Kathy O'Tierney.
