Hachette Book Group will release Julie Andrews' second memoir, Home Work: A Memoir of My Hollywood Years, October 15.
First announced in September 2017, the release is a follow-up to Andrews' 2008 New York Times Best Seller Home: A Memoir of My Early Years, which focused on Andrews childhood and rise to prominence on Broadway in such musicals as The Boy Friend, My Fair Lady, and Camelot.
The new memoir picks up where the first left off: just as Andrews was preparing to film Mary Poppins, a performance that would win her an Academy Award and propel her into being a film star and household name. Home Work will chronicle Andrews' long screen career, which included such films as The Sound of Music, Victor/Victoria, and, more recently, The Princess Diaries.
Andrews co-wrote Home Work with her daughter, Emma Walton Hamilton.
The mother-and-daughter team have previously penned more than 30 books for children, including The Very Fairy Princess and Dumpy series, The Great American Mousicle, and Little Bo.
