Home: A Memoir of My Early Years by Julie Andrews Edwards
4.0

I listened to this entire book through @audiblecanada as an audio read and loved it! It was wonderful to hear Julie tell her own story. It covers everything from her childhood (which wasn't as picture perfect as one may thing), to growing up with a blended family, to her introduction to singing and theatre, and finally to her years as a young star both on Broadway and on stage in London in productions of My Fair Lady and Camelot. It was interesting to hear from Julie about life prior to Mary Poppins, which is the role when I was first introduced to her. .

What I enjoyed most was the special soundbites and recording of Julie's singing on stage. This is a treat exclusive to the audiobook version!
