John and Caroline: Their Lives in Pictures by James Spada
They were the youngest children to live in the White House in over a century - Caroline just three and John Jr a newborn when their father took the oath of office. They won the hearts of the American people as they romped around - and under - their father's desk in the Oval Office. And when, three years later, Caroline kissed JFK's coffin and John Jr saluted the passing bier, they were forever etched in the nation's collective heart. In this book, James Spada gathers the rarest and most telling photographs of these remarkable siblings as they grew up in the centre of the public spotlight, fiercely protected by their mother and yet never far from the camera's eye. Spada includes more than 250 photographs - 150 of which have never been published - and tells John and Caroline's life story in extended anecdotal captions.
