Produktinformationen zu „Doctor Wears Three Faces (ePub)“
As a family, the Bards were always special.In the really bad times of the Great American Depression of the late 'twenties and early 'thirties and in the not-quite-so-bad-times of the New Deal which followed, they hung together closely like a bunch of bananas: unfailingly bright, optimistic and funny, totally supportive of each other and endlessly hospitable to others of all ages, races and creeds less fortunate than themselves.The rock of the family was Sydney, the widowed mother. But undoubtedly the mover, the fixer and Unequalled Organiser-of-Others had to be Mary, the fizzing firecracker.And then she married a doctor.She became a Doctor's Wife without catching one glimpse of the Job Description. Even if she had, she would have married Jim anyway. She had always welcomed a challenge.Which was just as well, for otherwise we would have been robbed of this very enjoyable book in which a 'mover' and a 'do-er' of a Doctor's Wife gets to grips with possibly one of the most conservative professions on Earth.It could have been a recipe for disaster. Instead it produced this book-a sure-fire prescription for high entertainment.
Autoren-Porträt von Mary Bard
Mary Bard Jensen (1904-1970) was a 20th century American author best remembered today as the sister of Betty Macdonald (Mrs. Piggle-Wiggle, The Egg and I.)Born in Butte, Montana, Bard was the eldest of five children. With their mining engineer father, the family traveled all over the country, moving so frequently that Bard did not complete one uninterrupted year of school until she was 13, when the family moved to the north slope of Seattle's Capitol Hill neighborhood in Washington in 1918, then to the Laurelhurst neighborhood a year later, and finally settled in the Roosevelt neighborhood in 1922.
After a year at the University of Washington and stints as a stenographer, filing clerk and switchboard operator, Bard finally settled on advertising and wrote radio commercials. She married physician Clyde Jensen in Seattle in 1934 and went on to have three daughters.
Bard was the author of the three volume Best Friends series for girls and also wrote three autobiographical works: Just Be Yourself (1955), Forty Odd (1952) and The Doctor Wears Three Faces (1949). She died in 1970.
