Adorning the cover of The New York Times Best Seller of All Time, "Midnight In The Garden of Good and Evil" was a bronze statue called, "The Bird Girl." She sold the book to the public in plethora but also made Bonaventure Cemetery a household name internationally and now over 800,000 people visit annually. However, oddly there is no real signage telling you, the stranger, that "The Bird Girl" is no longer in the cemetery. Savannahians in their ways, or some of the old crust, resented "The Book" as they called it, resented the fans by in large, especially those clamoring to see The Bird Girl in her original plot. So they cut her out of the picture and in my personal view, as an attempt to erase Bonaventure from the minds of tourists. Obviously it didn't work. I address some of the history, the controversy and in a general way, show you where, The Bird Girl was for many midnights. Cover Photo "The Bird Girl" by Jack Leigh (C) All Rights Reserved
