Avis sur le produitOne Special Summer by Jacqueline Bouvier and Lee Bouvier (2006, Hardcover)

The MOST CHARMING BOOK I have ever read and owned! LOVE IT!

My husband knows I love all things Jacqueline Kennedy and found this absolutely charming book as a gift, certainly one of the best I have received from him! It's the story written by the two Bouvier young women, Jacqueline, age 22 and Lee, age 18. Jacqueline had been studying at the Sorbonne and living with a French family for two years, writing her sister often about all her escapades and the joys of life abroad. Lee wanted nothing more than to go to Europe with Jacqueline and after begging her parents, they made arrangements to see the girls off on the QE2 to Europe. The girls wanted to put this book together as a thank you to their parents for their summer abroad. Jacqueline did the drawings and wrote the prose. Lee wrote the part about High Tea with the Queen and their travels to and through India. This copy is a rare first edition, which I'm putting away as a keepsake and buying a new copy to read and show my friends. I HIGHLY RECOMMEND THIS BOOK!Lire l'avis complet...

Bouvier sisters trip to Europe.

Enjoyed this book with details and drawings of a trip to Europe taken many years ago by the young Bouvier sisters. If you are a fan of history of Kennedy, Bouvier families I think you will enjoy!

CHARM AND HUMOR

I have always admired and respected Mrs Kennedy and bought this book on a lark...I find I also like her sister and wish I could have been with them on their european sojourn...

This is a book that displays the talent and humor of two young women and just another piece of the Camelot puzzle....opening the chink so one can see they were just enjoying each other's company and the moment...Lire l'avis complet...

It it such an extraordinary account of the two young women's trip to Europe and their adventures. It is beautifully illustrated and written. It is excellent to give as a gift to someone who loves to read and loves art. It is very inspiring.Lire l'avis complet...
