The Luckiest Girl in the World: A Memoir

A wonderful book which takes you back to the time of the Lucitania when children were "seen & not heard" and the only the sons were important in a certain class of family. A marvellous account of an eleven year old girl sent overseas to live with a maiden aunt and study classical dance. Young Verity virtually raised herself amid colourful and bizarre "sho biz" types. Written from the naive perspective of a young and lonely student in a strange land, this true account takes the reader gently into the understanding of how children can escape reality without even knowing. Leaves a lasting impression.
