I Love a Good Intrigue!
This is an excellent book. Very informative and gives an wonderful peak into the life of N.C., his family and friends. I purchased it to do some research on a painting I found in the basement of an old house in which I grew up back in the 1970's. Found some interesting connections to people that I knew during my childhood in Greenville, DE. One of his friends who was interviewed for this book, interestingly enough, was the same person who I used to visit, in the summers of my youth, to go swimming in their pool. Who would have known that I grew up around friends of N.C.! I am still researching the painting, which was painted by someone named "M. Pyle." I believe this person may have been a student at an art school in Wilmington, DE (You'll understand why if you read the book.) I can only assume this right now as I am still trying to trace its origins, but it is a graded piece, thus leading me to believe that this person was student of art. The search continues!

A must read before reading any other biography of the family
One of the most in-depth biographies I have ever read. Because of the personal letters that were preserved we are able to "live" the life of N.C. Wyeth.

Good Read!
Studied this topic in High in High School as required study. Along with Somerset Maugham I'd rate this biography as one of the best.
