First Time Ever: A Memoir Book Information:

ork City in 1935, Peggy Seeger enjoyed a childhood steeped in music and politics. Her father was the noted musicologist Charles Seeger; her mother, the modernist composer Ruth Crawford; and her brother Pete, the celebrated writer of protest songs. After studying at Radcliffe College, in 1955 Peggy left to travel the world. It was in England that she met the man, some two decades older and with a wife and family, with whom she would share the next thirty-three years: the actor, playwright and songwriter Ewan MacColl. Together, Peggy and Ewan helped lay the foundations of the British folk revival, through the formative and controversial Critics Group and the landmark BBC Radio Ballads series. And as Ewans muse, Peggy inspired one of the twentieth centurys greatest love songs, The First Time Ever I Saw Your Face. Peggys life comprises art and passion, family and separation, tragedy, celebration and the unexpected and irresistible force of love. It would by any standards be an extraordinary story, but what elevates her account is the beauty of the writing: it is clear-eyed and playful, luminous and melodic, fearless, funny and always truthful, from the first word to the last.
