USA Writers and Characters Mug

The Scottish company that makes our other literary mugs has finally turned their gaze across the pond to create a Writers and Characters Mug featuring American authors. Harper Lee and Atticus Finch and Scout, Toni Morrison and Sethe, Bob Dylan and Rubin “Hurricane” Carter, J. D. Salinger and Holden Caulfield, Herman Melville and Moby Dick, Alice Walker and Celie, Beverly Cleary and Beezus and Ramona, and many more—a lively Pantheon that might well be a wonderful jumping-off point for breakfast table talk with younger readers. These heirloom-quality bone china mugs are decorated with engaging illustrations depicting more than forty-six famous writers and their fictional creations. Each time you pick up one of these mugs, you’ll find more to look at in the wonderfully detailed illustrations, from each figure’s clothing to symbolic items they hold. Other pairings include Arthur Miller and John Proctor, Kurt Vonnegut and Billy Pilgrim, Joseph Heller and Yossarian, Washington Irving and The
