Virginia McKenna
Star of stage and screen, Virginia McKenna brings you a lifetime of amazing experiences in this intriguing autobiography.
Having starred in the movies Carve Her Name With Pride, A Town Called Alice and the award-winning Born Free, in which she starred with her husband Bill Travers, Virginia is regarded as one of Britain’s best-loved actresses and respected conservationists.
At the heart of this book is a cry for change in attitude – to respect nature and all that is provides. Virginia McKenna pushed aside the glamour of movie stardom and the West End where she starred in shows like The King and I and A Little Night Music.
