Synopsis
In her own beautiful, simple words, Baroness Maria Augusta Trapp tells the dramatic story that inspired the classic American musical and film The Sound of Music. The story begins in Austria after World War I, when Baron von Trapp, a widower with five daughters, two sons, and no one to look after them, calls on a neighboring convent for help and is sent the young student Maria. The Baron and Maria fell in love and were married. In the dark days that led up to World War II, the Baron lost most of his fortune. When the family met Father Wasner, a musical director, he encouraged them to do professionally what they had hitherto only done for fun, namely, sing. Thus began their extremely successful singing career. The Story of the Trapp Family Singers tells not only the story known to so many from The Sound of Music, but also reveals what happened after the Trapps fled Austria, the early years they spent travelling and singing in America, and their eventual settling as innkeepers in Vermont., 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.
