5.0 out of 5 stars Dispatches From the Land of Flowers, July 1, 2000
By A Customer
Visitors to Florida will find some little-known hidey holes to explore in this book. Suburban Floridians can dream of the state's hidden wonders that Klinkenberg writes about -- and maybe be inspired to see them. Subtly hidden among the pages of stories, readers will learn the language of authentic Florida -- a "mess" of anything is just the right amount. Some of the people and places in the stories are lumpy, bumpy, and flawed. But they're all real.
