"This is the poignant and fascinating story of how F. Scott Fitzgerald, in the last two years of his life, set about to educate the woman he loved. Here are the reading lists and curriculum he devised, and his notes and comments on his pupil's progress. The entire six-part course of study laid down by Fitzgerald is photographically reproduced in the Appendix, but it is the teacher's rapt belief in his mission, and the student's avid response that make this book so resoundingly alive. Here in a kind of Pygmalion drama stand revealed both student and teacher: a young woman with the barest education who aspires to intellectual ease, and the great man who succeeds in awakening her mind." $12.50USD
