'All the world knows Marjorie Lawrence as a famous Australian-born prima donna, as a operatic singer whose triumphs in Wagnerian roles have been acclaimed as among the finest in operatic history.

She came up the hard way and the bitter blow of partial paralysis resulting from poliomyelitis might have quenched a lesser spirit. But Miss Lawrence is courageous as she is brilliant. Undaunted, she has continued her fabulous career, and now enters the literary field with this delightful autobiography, which will have a warm welcome from all Australian readers and music lovers.' (Publisher's blurb)
