I have the good fortune of having had Charmian Carr autograph my book for me and it's well worth having, as is the book itself. Many of the letters in this book are charming and thoughtful and the narrative by Miss Carr is just as gentle and loving as her first book. These two books should prove that there is a market out there for books that tell charming stories and entertain readers at the same time. Charmian Carr obviously has no axe to grind regarding her "Sound of Music" experiences and I found it extremely touching that all seven actors who played the Von Trapp children keep in pretty close contact with each other. I highly recommend this book and am secretly hoping that Miss Carr has enough anecdotes and memories to fill a third book. Do we dare hope?

Charmian Carr has written a delightful book about her
being Liesl in, "The Sound of Music." The notes from her fans are very enjoyable to read and heart-warming, how they were so touched by the film. Jean Strauss is also an author of it as well. It's a delightful book, full of interesting letters, and stories. Also it has many lovely photos, of then and now. I highly recommend it. It is great fr anyone, whom really enjoyed the fim, "The Sound of Music."

An easy read and quite informative. Nevertheless a bit redundant throughout. It tells the story of a reunion of the actors of the children in the Sound of Music many year later and incorporates letters received from fans.

The continuing saga of a very good film, of a very good play, done by a team of very gifted people. The only dark side of the entire story of the Sound of Music was provided by the specter of Adolph Hitler. And no one, who lived through the mid-twentieth century, went untouched in some way by him. The effect of the "Sound of Music" on the lives it touched was quite the opposite. A very endearing epilog, and well worth reading, done by an "insider." To anyone who loved the books ("The Story of the Trapp Family Singers" and "Forever Liesl"), the musical-play, or the motion picture, I highly recommend it.

I got this book because I love The Sound of Music, and Charmian Carr. I had already read 'Forever Liesl', and when I heard that the second book was out, I had to read this one too.

'Letters to Liesl' is just as good as the first book. Ms. Carr has included letters from all over the world which share stories about how the film touched their lives, as well as pictures of the cast all grown up, and more photos of during the filming. She gives personal opinions and thoughts after each letter and entry. She also shares more stories from the filming of the movie, and details of the "children's" reunion in Salzburg.

Many people were chosen from all around the world to contribute personal stories to the book. Each one is interesting in its own way. Some are from children, some are from adults. Each one shares memories and pastimes related to the movie.

In my opinion, if you are a Sound of Music fan, or a Liesl/Charmian Carr fan, this is a must read. It is a great follow-up to her first book and I hope there will be another in the near future!

Look at the subject first, than read on. This is the continuing story of Forever Liesl. I'm really glad read this too.
