Gift From the Sea: 50th Anniversary Edition

By Anne Morrow Lindbergh, with a new introduction by Reeve Lindbergh

Pantheon, 130 pages, $9.95 paper

“The sea does not reward those who are too anxious, too greedy, or too impatient,” wrote Anne Morrow Lindbergh, an accomplished writer and aviator–and wife of Charles Lindbergh–in “Gift From the Sea.” The book–reflections on youth, age and modernity–was written in a cottage on Florida’s Captiva Island, and has a rhythmic quality–not unlike the sea itself.
