Frances Cavanah's book about the Swedish soprano, Jenny Lind, was published in 1969 on the 150th anniversary of Lind's birth, and details Lind's 1850-1852 tour of America. From the dust jacket: "Frances Cavanah, author of two earlier books (on Jenny Lind) . . . has recreated the beloved singer with warmth and understanding. To obtain additional information for this new, expanded volume and to research a part of the tour hitherto neglected, she visited museums, consulted contemporary newspaper files and clippings, and made use of unpublished letters. Jenny and her America live again in this memorable book."
