jfk's children and their life in photo's

good to see how jackie kennedy was able to shield them until they could think for themselves . some very good photo's showing how close the three were , such a pity john's crash . so now i can see why caroline wrote her book ,"The right to privacy" .

One of the best photo books about the Kennedys

I am a devoted collector of Kennedy material, and have seen most all photos of John and Caroline that have been published. But James Spada has done a wonderful job of seeking out the lesser known photos and making editorial choices which create a truly unique book. This volume celebrates the joy of their lives and helps salve the pain we felt as we saw them suffer loss. I would suggest this book as a gift to anyone who loved John and continues to love Caroline.

Sensational, sweet siblings

A truly lovely book for any 'Kennedyphile'. Beautiful pictures, many never before seen, and consise, accurate text. The book is a decade by decade photo album showing, both together and separately, what a good job Jackie did in raising these two unique individuals. As adults, they remained the closest of friends. The pictures of marital bliss between John and Carolyn Bessette Kennedy are a little heavy handed, in light of their reported strained relationship, but they still bring a tear to the eye, wondering what might have been.

Touching, tender, loving and insightful

James Spada has created a loving tribute to the most famous brother and sister in America, John and Caroline Kennedy. Using a range of rarely seen photographs to tell the stories of their two remarkable lives, Spada weaves an emotionally vivid account of the lives of the Camelot Kids. A tasteful, and tasty, tribute to the children of JFK and Jackie.A MUST HAVE for any Kennedy fan.
