Walking in Tower Grove Park: A Victorian Strolling Park
The author and his dog, "Herb," take you on a tour through the seasons of the year and a century of time in this unique Victorian strolling park. It is one of the country's greatest treasures. Recently it was designated a National Historic Landmark. St. Louis is one of three cities in the U.S. to have that historical distinction. Only three other parks in the United States have landmark status: Central Park in New York City; Boston Commons, and Boston Public Garden. The author brings the park alive through five seasons of the year, Early Spring, Late Spring, Summer, Autumn and Winter, melding his observations of life in the park with those on life itself. For Spring to be fully appreciated it must be seen in perspective with the other seasons of the year. In Walking In Tower Grove Park Robert Knittel takes you through them all, from peeping buds through trembling leaves, to colorful boughs, and finally crisp, dead foliage beneath your feet. To sample this delightful nature pilgrimage see the section titled EXCERPTS.
