A World of Light: Portraits and Celebrations

May Sartons celebrations in this book center around the friendships that flowered in her life from age twenty-six to age forty-five--between the end of <em>I Knew a Phoenix</em> and the beginning of <em>Plant Dreaming Deep</em>. Her subjects include her father, the noted science historian George Sarton; people in the arts--Elizabeth Bowen, Louise Brogan, Jean Dominique; and people who lived lives remote from the center--Marc, the vigneron of Satigny, in the foothills of the Jura mountains, and Quig, the painter of Nelson, New Hampshire.
