THE STORY OF A TIME WHEN TWO LITTLE CHILDREN ENTHRALLED THE WORLD
HISTORY / BIOGRAPHY
When President John F. Kennedy and his wife, Jacqueline, moved into 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue in January 1961 with three-year-old daughter Caroline and newborn son John, the world was captivated. Every aspect of the children's lives made the news. The public couldn't get enough of photos of John peeking out from under his father's desk or of the children in their pajamas under the Christmas tree. This evocative book combines reminiscences, memorabilia and rarely seen photographs to bring to life the story of the most famous children ever to live in the White House. From John's christening to his poignant farewell salute at his father's funeral, from Caroline greeting her new baby brother to clasping her widowed mother's hand on the steps of the Capitol, this storied era is touchingly re-created for a new generation of young Americans.
