Mrs. Appleyard and I by Louise Andrews Kent is a well-read favorite. This autobiography by Louise Andrews Kent will take you from Brookline Massachusetts to Kents Corner, Vermont by way of Iron Bound Island, Maine.



Mrs. Appleyard was a fictional character created by Mrs. Kent, who also wrote the "He went With....." historical fiction books, as well as a number of other Mrs. Appleyard books.

Vionnet tells the story of Madeleine Vionnet, an early 20th cutting edge clothing designer. This photograph-filled book is a journey into the halls of historic haute couture and includes pattern reductions with measurements to create your own Vionnet garments.

Thanks to my mother and sister for the gift of this book.
