[Gutenberg 20625] • Young Americans Abroad / Vacation in Europe: Travels in England, France, Holland, Belgium, Prussia and Switzerland

On the Wing is a wry, entertaining, deliciously gossipy account of a young woman in Europe during the fifties, and of those famous -- and infamous -- people who became her friends and confidants. More than a memoir, it is also a portrait of a group of people (actors, writers, filmmakers, and others, both American and foreign) unlike any others in a time unlike any other. Told with wit and charm, On the Wing is a story of elegance, exactness, and exciting adventure.
