A biography about a glamorous (and later reclusive) New York writer/photographer/model written by a stranger from second-hand accounts -- yet still engrossing. There are lots of photos by and of Dare Wright, but sometimes the author goes into great detail about something I wished was pictured but isn't. Dare Wright published ten Edith & the Bears books plus travelogues and other children's books.
