    Villa Montalvo Book Fair

    Annual event raises funds for restoration of historic Phelan Library


    The late United States senator and patron of the arts, James Duval Phelan, bequeathed Montalvo, his elegant estate in the Saratoga foothills, for the perpetuation of artistic creation. Among the attributes of his home was a library which housed a collection of literary works and books on California. Although the original furnishings and books of that library were sold or given away by Phelan's relatives after his death in 1930, Villa Montalvo's Phelan Library Committee has worked for more than a decade to change that. The committee has secured books, furnishings, and even an Oriental-style carpet, through direct donations and with funds raised via the Villa Montalvo Book Fair.   More
