The Sound of Music Story has got to be the most informative biography I have ever read in my life. . I went into reading TSOMS assuming I’d learn about a couple of funny moments on the set and possibly some facts about why the movie was made the way it was. I had no idea that meeting the real Von Trapps and understanding where they came to play in everything would be such an important part of TSOMS, nor did I realize how much history would be shared in regard to pretty much everyone who came into contact with TSOMS from start to finish. 

This book delves into each real Von Trapp (childhood, homes, adulthood), on top of sharing a plethora of facts about the director, editor, screenwriter, costume designer, song-writer/s, actors, cinematographer, voice-dubbers and so on. 

If you like The Sound of Music, if you like Julie Andrews, if you like anyone involved in Sound of Music in any way (or if you just want to know how The Sound of Music came to be in the first place), I guarantee you are going to want to read this book.
