With nearly 1,500 Broadway performances, six Tony Awards, more than
three million albums sold, and five Academy Awards, The Sound of
Music, based on the lives of Maria, the baron, and their singing
children, is as familiar to most of us as our own family history. But
much about the real-life woman and her family was left untold.
Here, Baroness Maria Augusta Trapp tells in her own beautiful, simple
words the extraordinary story of her romance with the baron, their
escape from Nazi-occupied Austria, and their life in America.
Now with photographs from the original edition.
