Summary:
In Dear Scott, Dearest Zelda, over three hundred letters of their collected love letters show why Scott and Zelda Fitzgerald's devotion to each other endured for more than twenty-two years, through the highs and lows of his literary success and alcoholism, and her mental illness, and has long been heralded as one of the greatest love stories of the 20th century. Edited by renowned Fitzgerald scholars Jackson R. Bryer and Cathy W. Barks, with a new introduction by Scott and Zelda's granddaughter, Eleanor Lanahan.
