Book Reviews of Agathe Von Trapp: Memories Before and After the Sound of Music
Book Review: Absolutely Delightful
Summary: 5 Stars
This is a delightful book and is essential reading for anyone who enjoyed "The Sound of Music" play or movie. There are apparently substantial differences between the real von Trapp family and that portrayed in the fictionalized version of their story, and it was fascinating to discover the true story. It was particularly interesting to learn more about the mother and father of seven of the ten children who eventually became part of the singing family. The many photographs in the book bring the story to life, and the author's drawings -- completed as the author was growing up and inserted in sections of the story that correspond to the time at which the drawings were made -- were absolutely charming. This book is both meaningful and entertaining.
Summary of Agathe Von Trapp: Memories Before and After the Sound of Music
As the oldest von Trapp daughter, Agathe's impeccable recall of her childhood brings fresh life to the events that forged enduring bonds within her devoted family. Her memories of her idyllic Austrian home transport readers back to the time before the von Trapps came to America and reveal a close-knit group of siblings who adored their gentle father and mourned the tragic loss of their mother. The von Trapps were Austrian nobility whose musical gifts enabled them to escape the Nazi threat during World War II and to entertain thousands of audiences in Europe and the United States.Music Books
