About This Item
In this book, Pierre Berton tells the story of the Dionne Quintuplets against the background of their time, providing much new information from government archives and eye witness accounts. The author describes the breach that occurred within the family and looks at the three surviving quintuplets as they are today, hidden from the glare of publicity. Two sections of b/w photographs on heavier semi-gloss stock. Illustrated endpapers. Bibliography and index provided. Bookplate to fep, name to half-title page. Price-intact dust jacket. A very bright, square, sharp-cornered book which promises to please.
