  • Memories Before And After The Sound Of Music by Agathe

    This book was a very easy read. I found it to be very informative about the Von Trapp family. After seeing the movie, visiting Salzburg, and the family resort in Vermont, I could just envision the family life. I was surprised by the interesting life they had in Austria and other parts of Europe since the movie did not show that side of their lives. I would highly recommend this book and the seller was prompt.

  • Great trip down memory lane.

    Liked all the great pictures of the real family and family history.
