Imagine a morning spent sipping tea, enjoying pastries, browsing vintage resale books, and discussing the complex stories of women in literature — all while taking in the serenity of The Poe Museum’s private Enchanted Garden.

History and book lovers are in for a treat this Saturday, March 22, with Literature & Her. This late-morning event — from 10 a.m. to 12 p.m. — is designed to celebrate influential women writers and provide guests with a chance to connect with folks who share similar interests.

Flip through the works of Mary Shelley, Jane Austen, Frances Ellen Watkins Harper, and more within the historic atmosphere of Edgar Allen Poe’s “Old Stone House."

Oh, and be on the lookout for Edgar and Tib — the museum’s enlightened, residentiary cats.
