"Madame de Hegermann-Lindencrone, the writer of these letters, which give so vivid a picture of the brilliant court of the last Napoleon, is the wife of the present Danish Minister to Germany. As a child she developed the remarkable voice which later was to make her well known. At the age of 17, Miss Lille Greenough married Charles Moulton, who had been a banker in Paris since the days of Louis Philippe. The charming American lady became an appreciated guest at the Court of Napoleon III. Then came the war of 1870 and the Commune. Few persons of her day have known so many of those whom the world has counted great. Among her friends have been not only the ruling monarchs of several countries, and the distinguished men and women of their courts, but almost all of the really important figures in the world of music of the past half-century, among them Wagner, Liszt, Auber, Gounod, and Rossini. The letters give an intimate, fascinating glimpse of many of these great men." $32.00USD
