Features: Many consider "The Sound of Music" as Austria's national anthem; the song "I'm sixteen, going to seventeen... (This year I'm sixteen, next year I'll be seventeen)" touches the hearts of young girls of all colors; the young postman who joined the Nazis, riding an old bicycle, almost captivated the heart of a girl on the cusp of adolescence; even more unforgettable is the scene where Colonel and Maria carry children and cross the Alps. However, can you imagine that all this doesn't actually exist? At the same time, can you imagine Agatha von Trapp—the original inspiration for the eldest daughter in "The Sound of Music"—publishing a new book at the age of ninety in 2003, "The Story of The Sound of Music," bringing a real von Trapp musical family vividly to life on the page?
