The Story of the Trapp Family Singers | Maria A. Trapp

This is the true story that the Sound of Music was based on. It was interesting to see how different the movie is from what really happened (quite a lot) and to know what happened with the family after they left Austria.

This is the true story upon which The Sound of Music was based. Not quite as dramatic as the musical, but still an amazing story. The family immigrated to the US and supported themselves by performing. 🎶 🎵

AmyG They wound up owning a lodge in Vermont. We visited there once....beautiful. 3y

The_Penniless_Author @AmyG We went there once too, for Octoberfest. It was a lot of fun! 3y

Ruthiella @AmyG @The_Penniless_Author I remember that from the book since it continues on where the musical left off. 😀 3y

#JamminJune The Trapp family has to leave Austria, and live #FarFromHome in America.
@Eggs

Eggs Nicely done ✅ 4y

TheAromaofBooks When I read this book, I couldn't believe how the entire movie of The Sound of Music was basically just the first few chapters of the book! So many more adventures after that! 4y

CoffeeNBooks @TheAromaofBooks I thought the same thing when I read the book! 4y

#7Days7Covers #day2 book that changed me or made an impact. The original book that I read as a 12 year old. Much loved
#thesoundofmusic #thehillsarealive

Ncostell That‘s a keeper for sure! My daughter and I rewatched The Sound of Music this weekend and I‘ve been humming those songs all day. 4y

tournevis I have this book! It was given to my father as an end-of-year prize in 1951, 52, or so. 4y

Crazeedi @tournevis that is wonderful, so special! 4y

Crazeedi @Ncostell I know the words to all the songs, they are all beautiful. I am 16, edelweiss, doe a deer, cuckoo, Maria, and on and on! Wonderful movie 4y

I love The Sound of Music, and enjoyed reading the true story of the Trapp Family! After coming to America from Austria, they traveled all over the country performing concerts, and bought a farm in Vermont.

ljuliel Good job. 👍🏼. I like Sound of Music too. 4y

TheAromaofBooks Haven't read this one in a long time, but I keep meaning to come back to it. She wrote a sequel as well! I couldn't believe how all the events from The Sound of Music only take the first few chapters of the book. Such an eventful life!

A Family on Wheels: Further Adventures of the Trapp Family Singers,

Cinfhen Fun choice!!! 4y

BarbaraTheBibliophage Great idea! 4y

Crazeedi This is one of my special loves. I read this as a young girl, still have the little paperback, in rough shape, but it captured my heart💖 4y

The Story of the Trapp Family Singers | Maria A. Trapp

This is a memoir written by Maria Augusta von Trapp, whose life was fictionalized in the musical The Sound of Music. I wish to read the book and I know many of us absolutely adore the iconic, catchy musical score.

LeeRHarry My favourite movie and I have been lucky enough to stay in the real von Trapp house in Salzburg 💕💕💕💕 6y

shawnmooney I am such a class a geek that I actually read this memoir when I was 11 or 12 years old. :-) 6y

CarolynM @shawnmooney me too! 6y
