The Audrey Hepburn Treasures

While Audrey news is still slow going, I did find an article reviewing The Audrey Hepburn Treasures that was very different from the rest. I also wanted to share it because it expresses some of the same concerns a lot of Audrey fans had expressed themselves: how would she feel about having millions of people see her personal belongings? The article starts off by saying that going through Treasures is rather like going through someone's desk drawers after they've died, and you feel guilty and strange doing it. But the author of the article justifies the release of Treasures by pointing out that it was done with Sean's specific consent (his forward in the book further assuages guilt), and that sales of this book will help the Audrey Hepburn Children's Fund. It also mentions Sean's own book, Elegant Spirit, as a further okay to this intimate peek at the private Audrey Hepburn.
