5.0 out of 5 stars Ann Morrow Lindbergh's pre-war diaries, August 28, 2000

By	Tessa Renison (USA) - See all my reviews

History and biography readers will enjoy this, there's even something for the gardener.This collection of diaries covers the few years before World War II when the Lindberghs moved to a home called Longbarn in England (and then to a home in France). She writes about their flying travels to Germany, Italy, France and India while based in England. She describes the plants and flowers at their home along with the landscapes of their travels. The personal political views and conversations of the time include a trip to Germany so Charles Lingbergh can evaluate Germany's aviation capability to "social events" with the King and Queen of England, Lord and Lady Astor and the Kennedy's.
