Picture Diary with some Text about young Cornelia Schaeffer's Trip to Europe in 1949 which ends with her mother going home and leaving Cornelia on her own and admitted to Study Modern Comparative Literature at the Sorbonne.
Hardcover. Photos, some of Cornelia (a couple partially nude), her mother, some scenes in France and Switzerland, some newspaper clippings that Cornelia liked, and a few things missing here and there -- seems at least just as likely to have fallen out or disintegrated as to having been intentionally removed, but who knows. Not a lot of anything but oddly interesting. Cornelia was a book editor. Simon Michael Bessie was one of the founders of Atheneum Books in 1959. Cornelia began working for Atheneum as an editor a year or two later. Cornelia and Simon married in 1968 and remained together until his death in 2008. The last parts of their lives seem to have been spent mostly in Connecticut. Very Good. Item #95155
