“Writing a multi-book series is a bit like trying to get your arms around an elephant: even if and when you succeed, you feel like you have been stretched to the breaking point.

Looking to read a completed series? Here you go!
“Gonna go out on a limb here and say that most people probably don’t know that these movies have literary origins because the film versions are just as good, if not—in some cases at least—better!”

Andrews looks back on her early life in Hollywood in the new memoir, Home Work, which she co-wrote with Hamilton. It’s the 32nd book that the mother and daughter duo have written together.”
Esqueeze me, Julie Andrews and her daughter Emma Walton Hamilton have written how many books together?!
