Julie Andrews, probably best known to you and me as the actress who starred in The Sound of Music and Mary Poppins (my favorite!) has announced that the Julie Andrews Collection is moving to Little, Brown Books for Young Readers, a division of Hachette Book Group USA.
The collection is co-authored by Andrews’ daughter, Emma Walton Hamilton. There are currently 25 titles in the collection, which will grow over the next few years.
The collection will launch at Little, Brown in 2009 with an anthology entitled Julie Andrews’ Collection of Favorite Poems, Songs and Lullabies. A bonus CD featuring archival musical recordings as well as personal narrations by Julie Andrews will also be included.
In 2010, the collection will launch of a new character, The Very Fairy Princess. Of course, Julie Andrews knows a little something about princesses having starred in the movie adaptation of Meg Cabot’s The Princess Diaries.
