Florida isn't just one big, paved-over shopping mall of designer gowns and ticky-tacky tourist treats. The fabled "Sunshine State" (Flarda, as the Crackers call it) still calls the romantic, the adventurous, the explorer, even the renegade seeking the peace and quiet of the gently washing surf or the mystery of the wooded swamp. Although rapidly dwindling under the flowing lava advance of asphalt and concrete, the natural and truest Florida can still be found and enjoyed and appreciated like it was by the ancients. These stories from the mythical, "Down Yonder, Florida," will get readers in touch with the magical, mystical, enchanting and - most of all - welcoming "Land of Flowers.".
