Since its world premiere in 1959, the Broadway hit (and
movie) musical The Sound of Music has captivated millions
of people around the world. Almost everyone knows of the
aristocratic von Trapp family, the young postulant Maria
who brought music back into their lives, and their harrowing escape from Hitler’s evil Third Reich. But few know the
incredible true story behind the musical.
In this new Vision Book, that dramatic story is at last told
for young readers, based on Maria’s bestselling autobiographies and Agathe von Trapp’s memoir. Part epic adventure
and part spiritual testimony to God’s constant faithfulness,
this story of the family that became one of the most beloved
choirs in history is a page-turner to the very end.
Trusting in God at every difficult step, the von Trapps gradually rose to world-wide fame, finding their place in America
and eventually a new identity as American citizens. The harrowing story of their many adventures and ultimate glorious
success is one you will never forget!
