Home by Julie Andrews

Where to start.....I love Julie Andrews!

Although she is British, I believe she has become an American icon and is one of the few celebrities who has maintained her class and decency through the years. Has anyone ever heard of a scandal or outburst involving Julie Andrews? No. Why? Because she is a lady and "practically perfect in every way."

As a girl growing up "my movie" was The Sound of Music. I watched it countless times and never grew tired of it. Marry Poppins was also on the list of favorites. Watching the children "tidy up the nursery" while Julie Andrews sang "A Spoon Full of Sugar" was always a scene I loved.

When I was about eleven my neighbor gave me cherished copy of a book entitled "Mandy," authored by Julie Edwards, aka Julie Andrews. This book, as well as Julie's other work, spoke to me.

So, when I saw "Home, a Memoir of My Early Years," by Julie Andrews I new I had to read it, and I knew I would love it, and I did. I was enraptured with Julie's writing style and her ability to tell simple life stories in such a vivid and entertaining way. My only complaint is that I wanted to learn more about her fascinating life. Maybe she will write a memoir of her later years.

P.S. I bought this book at Costco. I'm pretty sure they are still selling them.
