Dust jacket notes: "As thousands of readers know, the Trapp family fled from Austria to escape Hitler, and arrived in America nearly penniless to begin a new life as professional musicians. Maria Trapp has told that story in her heart-warming, popular book, The Story of the Trapp Family Singers. Now she shares her family's adventures from the time when she wrote the first book to their final tour I 1955, and in this story are the same elements of love, humor, drama and victory that made the earlier volume memorable. Including enough of their earlier experiences to make this book stand independently, Mrs. Trapp continues the fascinating story of their life in Vermont and on more American and international concert tours. A successful South American tour launched them on a series of international engagements - including a return to Europe and their old home in Austria, where after twelve years' absence they received a royal welcome. They also sang in Hawaii, New Zealand and Australia, and Mrs. Trapp has included here an unforgettable account of their visit to Father Damien's famous Molokai leper colony in Hawaii. A last American tour marked the end of a distinguished musical career for the Trapp Family Singers. Writing in that warm, humorous style characteristic of her other book, Maria Trapp gives the reader a real feeling of sharing her family's joie de vivre and wonder as they fly over the Andes and visit the tomb of St. Peter - and their pleasure in making new friends around the world and returning to old friends at home. Readers will find in A Family on Wheels a wonderful companion to The Story of the Trapp Family Singers."

Maria August Trapp here takes us through the year as it is celebrated in her family. When the Trapps came to America, they brought with them the habit of carrying into daily life the teachings, the beliefs, the feasts and observations of their religion. Life, in their family, is a continous response to the cycle and rhythm of the Church Year. How this is done, how old-world customs continue to flourish and live, is told with charm, candor, and verve by the mother of the family. One marvels at the energy, the resourcefulness, the faith which achieved the miracle of transplanting intact a whole cultural world.

Maria Augusta was sent as a young novice to look after the large family of the widowed Baron von Trapp. She brought little with her, besides her guitar and the gift of happiness. With the zest inherited from her native Tyrol she transformed the gloomy restraint of the Salzburg house into a place of music centred around the church festivals. When the Baron fell in love with her, Maria married him with the blessing og the convent. When the Nazis invaded Austria, Maria led the whole family to safety in a dramatic escape across the mountains. They began a new life in the USA, with the children performing regularly on concert platforms.
