More Florida Stories

by Kevin M. McCarthy (Editor), Lawrence LeShan (Illustrator)

This companion volume to the popular Florida Stories offers readers another sampling from the rich heritage of Florida short fiction.  The collection ranges across a gallery of original characters and 150 years of the state's history and culture.
 Selections in this volume highlight distinctively Floridian settings and experiences, from W. B. Thompson's report of the Indian assault on the Cape Florida Lighthouse during the Second Seminole War to Padgett Powell's tale of the backroads personalities and attractions of present-day Florida.

[Tomas Curcio · Rating 4 out of 5]

Beautiful collection that coalesces amazingly in the final story where the reader is reminded of the unforgettably elusive quality of Florida and its swamps.
