The first literary guide to the city America has come to love through Midnight in the Garden of Good and Evil

the book

The statues of Savannah's Monument Square are silent. The statue of the solemn girl in Bonaventure Cemetery—made famous in John Berendt's blockbuster book, Midnight in the Garden of Good and Evil—can't speak. Only Savannah's literary monuments can give voice to the rich and diverse history of one of America's greatest cities; one that has for centuries inspired fascination worldwide.

Many have written about Savannah, but few have captured the true spirit of southern grace most often associated with her history as well as the mysteries and humor that await behind the walled gardens and gated homes. Whether born there or simply passing through, Savannah is a town that has inspired writers for centuries and, at last, in Literary Savannah the city's story is told.
