Literary Savannah

The statues of Savannah's Monument Square are silent. The status of the solemn girl in Bonaventure Cemetery — made famous in John Berendt's now legendary book, Midnight in the Garden of Good and Evil — cannot speak. Only Savannah's literary monuments can give voice to the rich and diverse history of one of America's greatest and most visited cities. 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, writers have been inspired by Savannah for centuries, and, in Literary Savannah, her stories are finally told.

What People are Saying About This

Margaret Mitchell

The stretch of coast from Savannah southward is...the most beautiful place in the world.

Henry James

I recall my fleeting instants in Savannah as the taste of a cup charged to the brim.

Rosemary Daniell

Savannah is a...lovely, pastel dream of tight cobbled streets....There are legendary scenes extreme enough to rival any dreamed up by Tennessee Williams.

John Berendt

I was beguiled by Savannah....In [her] palmier days it had been a cosmopolitan city and its citizens an unusually worldly sort.
