But you are guaranteed to fall in love with her while you read it.
It's absolutely beautiful and the illustrations are delightful. It would certainly introduce a new generation of fans.
Audrey Hepburn: The Illustrated World of a Fashion Icon is a stunning illustrated biography of style and screen legend Audrey Hepburn, from the Australian born and internationally renowned fashion illustrator.
From Sabrina to Breakfast at Tiffany's, Audrey Hepburn is renowned for her unforgettable film roles and fashion looks.
But perhaps less well known is her fascinating life, including her childhood in Nazi-occupied Holland and her tireless dedication to helping those less fortunate than herself as a UNICEF Goodwill ambassador for humanitarian causes.
Who could forget her as Holly Golightly in a Givenchy gown who steps out of a taxi onto the deserted Fifth Avenue pavement to gaze into the Tiffany's front window? It is one of cinema's most famous fashion moments.
Elegantly enclosed by a hardback cover and ribbon, Audrey Hepburn is a beautiful celebration of a woman whose life was as remarkable as the clothes she wore and the movies she starred in.
