The Sound of Music Family Scrapbook by Fred Bronson


From the moment Julie Andrews appears on the hills outside Salzburg to the final daring escape from the Nazis, "The Sound of Music" is embedded in the DNA of a generation. But what was it like to be part of all this? For seven children, the summer of 1964 was a magical one, spent in Salzburg, Austria with their parents or guardians, the film's stars and director, and last - but not least - each other. "The Sound of Music Family Scrapbook" tells their story, during the filming and once the movie was released. It features a DVD of their own home-movie footage, and memorabilia they have cherished and preserved over the years. If you ever dreamed of marching round the fountains singing "Do Re Mi" you will love this enchanting story of how seven boys and girls became a family - and how they have kept that closeness for over 45 years.

Women of the Land: Eight Ordinary Women Who've Achieved Extraordinary Things by Liz Harfull

Women of the Land brings together the heart-warming stories of eight rural women spread across Australia who run their own farms, capturing their ways of life, their personal struggles and their remarkable achievements.
