Home: A Memoir of My Early Years by Julie Andrews

Home:  A Memoir of My Early Years by Julie Andrews is a 339-page hardcover published in 2008 by Hyperion, New York, and is a stated first edition.  The book is in very good condition.  Book Summary Since her first appearance on screen in Mary Poppins, Julie Andrews has played a series of memorable roles that have endeared her to generations.  But she has never told the story of her life before fame.  Until now. In Home:  A Memoir of My Early Years, Julie takes her readers on a warm, moving, and often humorous journey from a difficult upbringing in war-torn Britain to the brink of international stardom in America.  Her memoir begins in 1935, when Julie was born to an aspiring vaudevillian mother and a teacher father, and takes readers to 1962, when Walt Disney himself saw her on Broadway and cast her as the world's most famous nanny. Along the way, she weathered the London Blitz of World War II; her parents' painful divorce; her mother's turbulent second marriage to Canadian tenor Ted Andrews, and a childhood spent on radio, in music halls, and giving concert performances all over England. Featuring over fifty personal photographs, many never before seen, this is the personal memoir Julie Andrews' audiences have been waiting for.  ISBN:  978-0-7868-6565-9
