This delightful look into the life of a young architect, who by a chance acquaintance
with an ex-Taliesin apprentice, finds himself motoring across California to Spring
Green, Wisconsin, and the doorstep of the formidable Frank Lloyd Wright. Lured by the possibility of being accepted as one of these earnest apprentices, he manages
to assauge the obvious doubts of the third Mrs. Wright, Oglivanna, co-ruler in many
respects, of this remarkable enterprise and creation of FLW. With much gentle humor, the author's insights are revealed in a pleasingly understated style, and cover a wide range of travels around the world, in his pursuit of his architectural
career. The book is blessed with many fine color photographs, covering a time
period of some of the best examples of American architecture . The personal narrative of the author provides a warm and often insightful backdrop for the
reader, with many humorous anecdotes and glimpses of the "nearly famous." This is an excellent addition to the collection of "Wrightiana," and the ongoing influence of his genius on so many lives
and careers.
