Remember our
post back in June of 2012 when we shared some photos of Eudora Welty and her family? Well, we happened across some family photos of another famous Mississippi author that we'd like to share with you--William Faulkner!
 |
| "Faulkner's great-grandfather, Colonel William Clark Falkner, the model
for the fictional Colonel John Sartoris. (Faulkner added the u to his surname in 1918.)" (128). |
 |
| "Faulkner's grandfather, John Wesley Thompson Falkner, the model for Bayard Sartoris in the Yoknapatawpha novels" (128). |
 |
| "Faulkner (back row, center) with his three younger brothers, Murry (left), John, and Dean (in front), ca. 1911-1912" (129). |
 |
| "Faulkner with his daughter, Jill, born 24 June 1933" (155). |
 |
| "The Faulkners [William's wife, Estelle, on the right] at Jill's wedding to Paul D. Summers, 21 August 1954" (186). |
Looking for a book or two to read during the holidays? Stop by the Mississippi Library Commission and check out some of his books! For more things Faulkner related, check out our special
