My well over 80 year old husband never tires of telling of his falling in love with Elizabeth Taylor in her 1944 breakout starring role as Velvet, in National Velvet. The film was based on the best selling book by Enid Bagnold that was published in 1935 and is a true feminist anthem. This paperback edition was published in 1971 by Scholastic Book Services and is good, age-related condition. If you have a daughter and haven't shared this book with her, you're both in for a treat.
