Tom, Scott & Zelda

Three tragic, iconic figures of the 1930s roamed the streets of Asheville, Hendersonville, Tryon, and Lake Lure, seeking inspiration and characters for their novels and short stories. Historian, Bruce Johnson, has literally retraced their footsteps, from the divided Wolfe family home and dusty tombstone shop to Scott's scandalous time at the Grove Park Inn and Zelda's heart-breaking confinement at nearby Highland Hospital. Used as a walking and driving guide or simply as a book to be enjoyed at home, it will enhance your appreciation for these three legendary authors and the charming North Carolina towns where they lived and worked.
