Aunt Libra

Aunt Libra is a beloved icon within Book World known for her urbane wit and bookish wisdom. She is a highly regarded book traveler, having sailed from the shores of literary fiction to the towering cliffs of mystery to the gleaming metropolis of science fiction to the tropical splendor of Romancelandia, where she maintains a chateau. Rumors about her exuberant entertaining and tumultuous, albeit short-lived, affair with The Cat in the Hat are greatly exaggerated.
