Bring Me a Unicorn: Diaries and Letters of Anne Morrow Lindbergh, 1922-1928"A combination of diary entries and letters which shape into a continuous autobiography. These have all the immediacy of the actual experience. At a very early age, Anne Morrow ... faithfully recorded in her diary the significant impressions and telling events of her life and their emotional impact upon her. She also corresponded warmly and at length with her mother, sisters, and other family members. From this wealth of material, [this] volume draws a vivid picture of Anne Lindbergh's formative years ... The volume culminates in the momentous 1927 Christmas vacation in Mexico, where her father, Dwight Morrow, was ambassador. At the United States Embassy she first meets Charles Lindbergh ... He instantly captured her imagination and radically changed her outlook ... The development of their relationship is closely and movingly linked to the newly discovered world of flying, with the sky as backdrop for an extraordinary courtship. The self-doubting, tremulously shy young girl grows into a clear-sighted and courageous woman of captivating charm, humor, and spirit"--Jacket flaps |
