Stepping Out with Scott and Zelda

Beschreibung

Stroll back in time through Stepping Out with Scott and Zelda, a literary tour guide that introduces the places and people that touched the Fitzgeralds' lives during their period in Montgomery. Visit Zelda's childhood home and neighborhood, with its ornate Victorian mansions and charming houses with gingerbread trim. Discover where Scott, as a lieutenant during World War I, first fell in love with a young Southern belle-and the city that shaped her. Explore historic Old Cloverdale's winding tree-lined streets and enjoy the Fitzgeralds' 1931 home, now an important literary museum. Featuring photographs and vintage postcards, Stepping Out with Scott and Zelda is the perfect way to ring in the new Roaring Twenties.
