Hardcover. Zustand: Very good. Zustand des Schutzumschlags: Very good. The format is approximately 8.25 inches by 9.25 inches. xvi, 263, [1] pages. Preface to the new Edition. Illustrations (some with color). Inscribed by the author on the half-title page. The inscription reads For Stouphen and Margaret with admiration and affection Brooke. 1994. Roberta Brooke Astor (née Russell; March 30, 1902 August 13, 2007) was an American philanthropist, socialite, and writer. She served as the chairwoman of the Vincent Astor Foundation, established by her third husband, Vincent Astor, who was a member of the Astor family. Brooke Astor was the author of two novels and two volumes of personal memoirs. In October 1953, she married her third and final husband, William Vincent Astor, the chairman of the board of Newsweek magazine and the last rich American member of the famous Astor family. Vincent was the son of RMS Titanic victim John Jacob "Jack" Astor IV and socialite Ava Lowle Willing. Few people believed that the Astor-Marshall union was anything more than a financial transaction. According to Brooke's friend Louis Auchincloss, "she married Vincent for the money," adding "I wouldn't respect her if she hadn't. Only a twisted person would have married him for love." Despite liquidating the Vincent Astor Foundation in 1997, she continued to be active in charities and in New York's social life. The New York Public Library was always one of Astor's favorite charities as was The Animal Medical Center. As a result of her charity work, Astor was awarded the Presidential Medal of Freedom in 1998. From the Preface to the New Edition: I had written "an earlier memoir, this one about my childhood. It was call Patchwork Child and was published in 1961.my editor came to visit me. and suggested republishing it with many more photographs than in the original version and any additional comments that might occur to me. I began to think it over, wondering just what more I could say, but as I read it I began to realize that Patchwork Child described the foundation of my character and approach to life. It made me realize how tremendously important one's childhood is. It forms one's character and outlook and philospphy.As I look back, the two things that have helped me most have been an undying love of reading and my love of nature. Because of this, I have been able to survive.my third husband's death, after only five and a half ears of marriage.I think I made him happy. At least he told me so, and he left me the Vincent Astor Foundations, which has been my live ever since--and has given me enormous pleasure in being able to help others." 1993 Edition [Stated]. Believed first printing thus per Random House convention.…
