Meet these author in June
Flora Miller Biddle will be reading and signing copies of Embers
In this wonderfully evocative memoir, the great-granddaughter of Gertrude Vanderbilt Whitney lovingly recalls the people and places that shaped her during her privileged childhood in the 1930s and '40s. Flora Miller Biddle is also the author of The Whitney Women and the Museum They Made (1999) and has been on the board of the Whitney Museum of American Art since 1958. She is currently Honorary Chairman. Philip Delves Broughton will sign copies of Art of the Sale
Saturday, June 9th @ 2:00 pm "The Art of the Sale reminds us that the best salespeople are resilient optimists—and that we all engage in sales of one sort or another. Parents sell the idea of eating vegetables to their children; reporters sell their latest story idea to editors; university presidents sell their institution's neediness to potential donors. We might as well approach sales with good cheer and confidence, Mr. Delves Broughton says, not least because the upbeat approach seems to work best." ---L. Gordon Crovitz, Wall Street Journal
Nan Parson Rossiter
will sign copies of
The Fo'c'sle
Saturday, June 16th @ 2:00 pm
The Outermost House is Henry Beston's beloved account of the year he spent in a shack high on a dune overlooking the thundering surf of the Atlantic. The house was known as "The Fo'c'sle" and now we have a record of that year for younger readers, brilliantly retold and illustrated by Nan Parson Rossiter. Her artwork glows with the same inner light and simplicity that animated Beston's prose and amplified the natural world. And although his memorable prose is incorporated throughout the book, it is Rossiter's skill, as both an artist and an interpreter, that makes him, his year, and the little shack he so loved come convincingly, and poignantly, to life.
Francine du Plessix Gray will sign copies of The Queen's Lover
Saturday, June 30 @ 2:00 pm This well-researched historical follows Count Axel von Fersen, a Swedish nobleman, as he meets a young Marie Antoinette, falls in love, is swept away to war in America, and returns to the Continent to discover the patrician world he once knew—and those he loved within it—facing imminent ruin.
