The first short story collection from the Key West Authors' Coop. A classic that has never gone out of print. Highly popular with locals and visitors for the colorful pictures it paints of the legendary island.
Book Description
Editorial Reviews
Review
"Sometimes these stories and poems talk, sometimes they sing...but the writing is always melodious." -- David A. Kaufelt, author of The Fat Boy Murders, 1997
From the Publisher
Key West has always attracted writers who observed life on the 2 by 4 mile island. This collection of stories from the latest generation is as colorful as from those who went before -- Hemingway, Tennessee Williams, Richard Wilbur and more.

This review is from: Once Upon An Island (Paperback)
I am one the the group of 12 who cooperatively wrote and published this book of south Florida short stories. Living in what some call "paradise" produces a unique life experience which we want to share with those living more traditional lifestyles. You'll enjoy a tropical getaway with each story. Read them slowly, they'll last a long time in your memory.
