You Probably Know Her Best as Julie Andrews, Actress
Julie began writing children's books over 35 years ago as a result of a game she played with her children. After the first one, she liked it and, happily for all of us, has continued writing.
Many of her children's books are co-authored with her daughter, Emma. Several have been best sellers. Some have become classics.
Julie's books are featured below. If you love Julie Andrews and if you enjoy reading, we think you're really going to love Julie Andrews Edwards, the author.

Simeon's Gift
More than just a book.
Simeon's Gift (Julie Andrews Collection)
Amazon Price: $6.99 (as of 07/12/2009)![]()
Convinced that his "lowly status" and the "simplicity of his art" will never provide more than a "meager existence" for his beloved, minstrel Simeon sets out on a fairy tale-like quest to free the music "deep in his soul." He encounters a veritable symphony of new sounds on his pilgrimage--the insistent beat of soldiers' drums, the harmonic chanting of monks, the general cacophony of a big city--but sadly, this barrage of new sounds bewilders and overwhelms Simeon, who feels his own attempts at song suffer in comparison. Lonely and weary, he abandons his quest and trades his lute for a canoe to take him home. On the way, Simeon befriends a bright little bird, a beautiful fish, and lovely fawn who become his companions. Heartened by his new friends and overjoyed to see his beloved Sorrel, Simeon breaks into song and discovers the music of his soul.
For ages 5 to 8.

Hey Susan!
What a wonderful lens! I have admired and followed Julie Andrews films for many years starting with A Sound Of Music, but I had NO idea she is an author! I look forward to reading her work! Thank You!

I hadn't realised she was an author. Amazing how I could have gone about in such ignorance. Thanks for the information which, as always, is the best from your pen - or i should say, keyboard.

Mandy was one of my favorite books as a child, and is a favorite of my daughter's as well! Great lens!

I always liked her as an actress but never knew that she had written any books, so was informative for me. Perhaps I can get some for my grandchildren, if and when I have any
