FoxTale Book Shoppe, is the brainchild of friends and fellow writers, Karen Schwettman, Jackie Tanase and Ellen Ward. Building on respect for books, community and independent retailers, the trio combined talents and have brought to Woodstock a unique, welcoming environment that's a bit like stepping back in time. "Just like that book store in 'You've got Mail,'" they hear on a almost daily basis. And indeed, it is that very homey, inviting ambience that keeps customers coming back and bringing friends to visit the most talked about bookstore in Cherokee County.
