The Elvery Family: Memoirs of the Artist

Although this is a short book, it is more than one book, a collection of many stories and many lives, some renowned and some less well known- though never ordinary. It introduces a timid and shy, but also happy child living in the late nineteenth century Dublin with three brothers and three sisters, all of whom she loved dearly, and all of whom continue to appear throughout the later years when, as adults, they had gone their seperate ways.

Dorothy Kay's memories, The Elvery Family: A Memory, edited and prepared for publication by her daughter, Marjorie Reynolds, follows the publication in 1989 of the biography by Dorothy Kay, "Everything You Do is a Portrait of Yourself". Hardcover with dustcover xiv plus 197 pages text with numerous photographs and supporting data.Near Fine.
