Product description: Illustrated with 48 pages of photographs. Like many little girls who play Let's Pretend, Grace Kelly, of Germantown, Pennsylvania, used to say, "Let me be the Princess." Unlike most little girls, however, Grace grew up to become a Princess. How did it happen? How does a storybook dream become a reality? Princess of Monaco tells the unusual story of that shy, imaginative child who blossomed into a beautiful and successful actress – and left behind her the glittering lights of Hollywood fame to marry a Prince and become a wife and mother devoted to her home and family. Secure in the love of Prince Rainer, Grace Kelly exchanged stardom and popularity for serenity and the affection of the people of Monaco. Everyone who has watched the slender, graceful figure of Grace Kelly move across the screen, or seen the lovely features of her face photographed in magazines and newspapers, will want to read this warm, appealing book. Through the author's skillful handling of his subject and his own personal friendship with Princess Grace, she emerges from these pages not merely as a vision of aloof beauty but as a delightful and very real person.
