Title: Trapp Family
Review: I have never actually seen or heard the Trapp Family Singers, but like most Americans, know their story from "The Sound of Music". This is the third copy of the book that I have bought. I lost the first, have the second and this copy is for a gift.The real story is much more fascinating than the movie. María was a remarkable woman, but she was nothing like Julie Andrews in the movie. Their escape was made by train to Italy and then by ship to travel to the USA where they were going to go on a concert tour. Hiking through the Alps to escape certainly would not make much sense for a woman who was at that time pregnant, with two very small children as well! The number, names and ages of the children were all changed in the movie.But I don't want to ruin the story. It is a good read if you are interested.
