This is a fascinating journal?, scrapbook?, memoir? - hard to pin down, but easy to enjoy. The life and times of Doris Eaton Travis, at 14 the youngest girl in the Ziegfeld Follies, recipient of an honorary doctorate at 101, a Phi Beta Kappa graduate in history at the age of 88 - what's not to love? Marylinn Kelly pointed me in the direction of this wonderful romp.Kudos to author Lauren Redniss for a great job.
Thank you, Erin, for the link and the shout out. So glad you enjoy the book.
