Eudora Welty's The Little Store Eudora Welty, the author of 'The Little Store,' is also the narrator in her story.

Fannie Flagg's Fried Green Tomatoes at the Whistle-Stop Cafe My first impression of Fried Green Tomatoes at the Whistle Stop Café was that it was a “woman’s'; novel. This was because the movie, which was more popular than the book, was advertised as a “chick flick';. To say the least, I was wrong.
