Descrizione dell’articolo da parte del venditore

Handsomely bound in finely woven rose-colored cloth stamped brightly in gold on the front boards and on the spine. Virtually as new, internally fine and clean and tight throughout, printed on heavy white stock. This is an uncommon volume published especially "For the great grandchildren of Rose Fitzgerald Kennedy, and for the generation of the family to come." With a beautiful color photograph of Rose Kennedy on the frontispiece page., and illustrated with numerous photographs throughout. Ted Kennedy has inscribed the book on the full front endpaper in blue flair ink to a treasured family friend: "To Mary Ann, Thanks so much for being a part of mother's book. We miss her greatly and always will. With affection. Ted/ 22 July 97."Quite uncommon, especially inscribed thus by Teddy Kennedy. Rose Elizabeth Fitzgerald Kennedy, Countess Kennedy (July 22, 1890 January 22, 1995) was an American philanthropist, socialite, and the matriarch of the Kennedy family. She was deeply embedded in the "lace curtain" Irish Catholic community in Boston, where her father was mayor. She was the wife of businessman and investor Joseph P. Kennedy Sr., who was United States Ambassador to the United Kingdom, formally known as Ambassador to the Court of St. James's in the UK. Their nine children included President John F. Kennedy, Senator Robert F. Kennedy, and longtime Senator Ted Kennedy. In 1951 she was ennobled by Pope Pius XII, becoming the sixth American woman to be granted the rank ofPapal countess. Rose Kennedy was a strict Catholic[5]throughout her life. Even after her 100th birthday, she rarely missed Sunday Mass and maintained an "extremely prudish" exterior. Her strict beliefs often placed her at odds with her children.[6] Jacqueline Kennedy described her mother-in-law in her correspondence to Father Joseph Leonard, an Irish priest: "I don't think Jack's mother is too bright and she would rather say a rosary than read a book." Rose Kennedy stated that she felt completely fulfilled as a full-time homemaker. In her 1974 autobiography, Times to Remember, she wrote, "I looked on child rearing not only as a work of love and a duty, but as a profession that was fully as interesting and challenging as any honorable profession in the world and one that demanded the best I could bring to it. What greater aspiration and challenge are there for a mother than the hope of raising a great son or daughter?" (Wikipedia0 Printed for Private Distribution. Unspecified number of copies printed.
