About This Item
Self-published. Fine in Fine dust jacket. 1984. First Edition. Hardcover. Two titles are sold together as a set. The author is a cultured woman who comes from a long line of scholars, so her ability to write cogently should come as no surprise, and the fact that her husband was a famous sculptor is not her only claim to fame. The Adventure of Living, her autobiography, was published in 1984. The Round of Life, self-published in 1989, is fiction on the subject of reincarnation, and is illustrated with three portraits, which I assume are by the author, since no illustrator is mentioned. The Adventure of Living is not signed, but The Round of Life is inscribed by the author and dated 1994. Both books are crisp and pristine. The jackets are preserved by mylar Brodart covers. .
