G. K. Hall, 1974

I never get enough of Anne Lindbergh
All of Anne Lindbergh's memoirs are filled with incredible highlights on life and history. Everyone should read all of her published diaries and include in their reading her many journeys such as "North to the Orient" and "Listen the Wind". This book is a must read. Kathleen Wyatt

Worry Week

Anne Morrow Lindbergh

Topeka Bindery, 2003

A breezy, entertaining read
This is a great book to read when you're on vacation or at the beach. It's the story of 3 sisters Alice, Allegra, and Edith (aka Minnow) who are reluctant to leave their summer house when their parents vacation plans are suddenly changed. Rather than spend a week with their boring and strict aunt, they concoct a plan which will allow them to stay behind without their parents. As Allegra puts it ...

Chatto and Windus, 1976

The greatest love story of our time finds it's beginning...
Anne Morrow Lindbergh looked to the sky long before she met Charles Augustus Lindbergh. Cloudscapes as pastel vistas; marvelling at the wings of a gull in flight; nights lying in bed, looking straight up through a tree to the celestial panorama overhead. A young girl's vision of her future? In "Bring Me A Unicorn, the Diaries and Letters of Anne Morrow Lindbergh, 1922 - 1928", we get to ...

Camelot, 1990

go look for pineapple place!
This is one of Anne Spencer Lindbergh's most exciting novels. For any kid who has ever crawled to the back of a coat closet, hoping in vain that a portal to Narnia would suddenly appear, this is the novel that will get you out of the house and into the streets of your neighborhood, keeping up your quest. The idea (a recurring one in Lindbergh's excellent and hilarious stories) that August Brown, ...

Gift From the Sea

A Joy Forever
What more can be said about this lovely collection of thoughts? Even as it celebrates its 50th anniversary, it is as fresh as the day it was penned. This book is a keeper if ever there was one, a volume to be read and re-read and handed down to one's children, which is what I intend to do with the most recent Gift from the Sea that I bought.

Three Lives to Live

Tandem Library, 1995

Be fifty years ahead of your time!
It is a great pity that Anne Lindbergh has been forgotten so soon after her death; she was one of the few writers who carried on the wonderful tradition of children's literature that started with E. Nesbit. Lindbergh writes the kind of children's fantasy that doesn't involve elves, dragons, or even wizards. In her books, ordinary children (or teens) stumble across something magical and make the ...

Hour of Gold, Hour of Lead: Diaries and Letters of Anne Morrow Lindbergh 1929-1932

Anne Morrow Lindbergh

Harvest/HBJ Book, 1993

A wonderful, heartrending book
I had read of the Lindberghs and of the famous kidnapping before reading this book, but wasn't prepared for the poignant and honest writing by Anne. To read about her life as a newlywed who flew with her husband in the early days of aviation was enthralling, and to read of their problems being pursued and photographed reminded me of Princess Diana being hounded by the paparazzi. The Lindberghs ...

Unicorn and Other Poems

Vintage, 1972

Credible, comfortable, inspirational and indispensable.
I write today to order three more copies of The Unicorn. You see, I keep giving my dog-eared, margin-scribbled copies away to friends who I hope will be as inspired and comforted by Lindbergh's words as I am. When my spirit is troubled, I do not need to muddle around in some author's clever obscurities. I need A.M.L. who has "been there" to talk with me in her honest, beautifully fluid ...

Houghton Mifflin (Juv), 1974

Fascinating, how many ways magic can work!
Osprey Island is about three children who have figured out a way to meet when they are far apart during the school year (Vermont and Paris). The question is, what can go wrong. The magic can do some pretty wacky things that send Charles, Amy, and Lizzie heading into big trouble. This is a perfect book for all ages. Funny, clever and gripping, this book is a definite page-turner. I liked ...

Beautiful
This is a fabulous collection of mostly letters written to and by Saint-Exupery during World War II. You really get to see the man in conflict, and how brave someone can truly be.

Nobody's Orphan

Avon Books (Mm), 1987

Funny!
Ten-year-old Martha is convinced she's an orphan. Why else is she the only one in the family with green eyes? Why is her little brother Kermit good at math, while Martha isn't? And how convenient that their mom says all the baby photos of Martha were in a lost suitcase during a move several years back! Nonetheless, Martha's determined to get through it all...especially now that she's got ...

Harcourt, Brace & World, 1936

The best flying memoir ever written.
Three years after her marriage to Charles Lindbergh, Anne Morrow Lindbergh left her infant son with her mother and a nanny in North Haven, Maine, strapped herself into the open cockpit of a Sirius floatplane, and flew with her husband to the Orient, following the Northwest Passage through arctic Canada and Alaska that her husband was surveying for the airlines. Her literate, supremely ...

The Lindberghs lives during the WWII years ...
I really enjoyed this book, as it offers Anne Morrow Lindbergh's perspective on her life and her husband's life during the tumultuous pre-WWII years. Charles Lindbergh took his family to live in England after the trial of Bruno Hauptmann for the kidnapping and murder of Charles and Anne's first son. But even after the trial, the Lindberghs were harassed and they feared for their son, Jon's, ...

Amazing book, wonderful author
My introduction to Anne Morrow Lindbergh was through "Gift from the Sea," a life-changing classic that I treasure and give as gifts to friends every year. "Dearly Beloved" is a meditation on marriage as well as a novel told by various characters attending a wedding. It takes place in one day, as the bride and groom and their families gather in the bride's home for the ceremony and ...

The Journey Home
I was guided to the parent book "Gift From the Sea" at a time when my life was falling apart. Sometimes just having the shells when beach living is impossible at the time make all the difference between living and dying. "Wisdom From Gift from the Sea" goes everywhere with me and I use it often - the perfect pocketsized lifeline. I further recommend "Return to the Sea: Reflections on Anne Morrow ...

The Steep Ascent

1 review
Anne Morrow Lindbergh

Harcourt, Brace and Company, 1944

Not one of Ann's best
I have read 6 on Ann's books and this one is her first novel. She is best when sticking to her real life experiences and feelings. Her biographer makes a big deal about Ann's real meaning in this book and all of the subtext, but I think Ann was just stretching her literary wings. Good, but not up to Ann's standards even by her own and Charles opinion.

David R. Godine Publisher, 2000

an unusual perspective
Anne Lindbergh, the daughter of Charles and Anne Morrow Lindbergh, has written a wryly humorous and, at times, sorrowful, look at everyday life with a unique perspective. I would recommend this slim volume of poetry with its eclectic mixture of subject matter. My personal favorite is about Noah on the ark, very clever and shrewd. Anne died at age 52, but her unusual take on everyday life is ...

Bt Bound, 2001

Great idea for the magic to work! A page-turner!
Bailey Bond is a grumpy twelve-year old who is being forced to stay with his cousins, who hate him. He spys on them, and says mean things about Carl and Anna, and gets Ingrid into hysterics, but when the magic begins to work, Bailey Bond is the master. None of the other children can work it. But while the magic is lots of fun, it has ups and downs, and it turns into one hilarious ...
