Arranged by season, the book opens in the fall, which Klinkenberg says is like spring in the north--a time of celebration: `Having survived our harshest season, we feel renewed.` Fair weather, good food, and the joys of nature lie ahead, described here in essays that are like time capsules of `old Florida values.` Preserving the past, they reveal Klinkenberg`s waggish appreciation of the state`s history, folkways, and landscape, not to mention its barbequed ribs, smoked mullet, stone crab claws, and fresh lemonade.
For anyone who has a stake in the real Florida--resident, tourist, naturalist, or newcomer--this tour of the seasons will linger in memory like the aroma of orange blossoms on a clear winter night.
