Cobblestone streets leading to perfectly preserved historic homes. Intricate wrought-iron gates opening to lush; fragrant gardens. A skyline of steeples and a river harbor bustling with schooners and sailboats. Charleston is one of America's most charming cities. In vibrant watercolors and detailed sketches; artist Diana Gessler captures the beauty and riches that make Charleston so unique: White Point Gardens; the Spoleto Festival; Rainbow Row; Waterfront Park; Fort Moultrie; the beaches of Sullivan's Island; sumptuous Lowcountry cuisine; and handmade sweetgrass baskets. Full of fascinating details--on everything from the art of early entertaining; the city's inspired architectural and garden designs; and George Washington's Southern tour to famous Charlestonians and the flags of Sumter--Very Charleston celebrates the city; the Lowcountry; the people; and our history. Hand-lettered and full color throughout; Very Charleston includes maps; an index; and a handy appendix of sites. With her cheerful illustrations and love for discovering little-known facts; Diana Gessler has created both an entertaining guide and an irresistible keepsake for visitors and Charlestonians alike.
