Sam Shaw took some of the most beautiful photos of Marilyn ever. This was a happy time in her life. The photos in this book span her marriage to Joe DiMaggio and Arthur Miller. The difference between this book and Shaw's other title "The Joy Of Marilyn" is the use of colour. Although, most of the photos in the book are black and white we get to see some awesome colour shots of Marilyn frolicking on the beach.
The text in the book is by Norman Rosten. You can tell Rosten was a poet by the way he writes. It is beautiful to read. You are left with a feeling that both of these men truly cared for Marilyn.
The memories they have of Marilyn really give us a glimpse of what she was like as a person. I especially love the story of her basset hound and how she would worry about him. This is one of my top 5 favourite Marilyn books because it is the perfect combination of photos and honest storytelling.
