We are delighted to announce that on Tuesday,
October 20th at 7:00 p.m., City Lights will launch
Horace
Kephart's long-lost novel, entitled Smoky
Mountain Magic. The evening's program will
feature Kephart's great-granddaughter, Libby Kephart
Hargrave, who worked to
bring the book to print 80 years after the manuscript
wa...s completed, and
artist Elizabeth Ellison, who painted the scene on the
book's cover. (It's a beautiful piece of artwork, as you
would expect from Elizabeth, but she had to paint it
with her
left hand because her right was injured during the time
she had to work on the project!).
