Item Description
In this inimitable, beloved classic- graceful, lucid and lyrical - Anne Morrow Lindbergh shares her meditations on youth and age; love and marriage; peace, solitude and contentment as she set them down during a brief vacation by the sea.
A ground-breaking, best-selling work when it was originally published in 1955, Gift from the Sea continues to be discovered by new generations of readers. In this 50th Anniversary Edition, with a new introduction by Lindbergh's daughter Reeve, this book gives fresh insight into the life of this remarkable woman.
Best known as the wife of aviation pioneer Charles Lindbergh, Anne was an accomplished aviator in her own right. She was the first woman in America to earn a first-class glider pilot's license, in 1930, and the first woman ever to win the National Geographic Society's Hubbard Medal, in 1934, for her aviation and exploration adventures. She also received the National Book Award, in 1938, for Listen! The Wind, and remained a best-selling author all her life.
Lovingly autographed and dated for our auction by Vermont resident and author Reeve Lindbergh.
