[Signed by Jacqueline Kennedy] Thayer, Mary Van Rensselaer. Jacqueline Bouvier Kennedy, A Warm, Personal Story of the First Lady Illustrated with Family Pictures. First Edition. 1961. Book and dust jacket are both in very good condition. Book is inscribed, “For Mary E. Oates, With best wishes, Jacqueline Kennedy.”
Jacqueline Onassis became famously press shy later in life. In fact, her first authorized biography—this book—was also her last. It was published the year JFK became President. The author was a journalist friend of Jacqueline’s mother, Janet Auchincloss. It is a collection of anecdotes and stories, mixed in with beautiful, full-page photogravure plates. There are no scandals here, but the book does offer a beguiling portrait of a young Jackie, “very clever, very artistic, and full of the devil.”
“I just know no one will ever marry me and I’ll end up as a house mother at Farmington.”
--Jacqueline Bouvier (circa her school years at Miss Porter’s)
