As promised, on the 23rd
of every month I will post a list of literary author birthdays. I came across
the list on Book Lover Gifts
website. Feel
free to add your favorite authors special day. Put it in the comments section,
just wait for their birth month.

 

  • 08 Nov 1847 – Bram Stoker,
    author of Dracula
  • 11 Nov 1821 – Fyodor
    Dostoyevsky, author of Crime and Punishment
  • 13 Nov 1850 – Robert Louis
    Stevenson, author of Treasure Island
  • 29 Nov 1898 – C. S. Lewis,
    creator of Narnia
  • 30 Nov 1835 – Mark Twain,
    author of The Adventures of Tom Sawyer

 

November Facts:

  • Most, if not all, of the
    leaves have fallen off the trees in the Northern Hemisphere by the end of
    November.
  • Throughout much of history,
    November has often been thought of as a somber month because it signaled the
    start of winter. People would spend the month storing up their harvest and
    preparing their food and homes in order to survive the winter.
  • Folklore: If there’s ice
    in November that will bear a duck, there’ll be nothing after but sludge and
    muck.

 

See you next month!
