Vincent Van Gogh arrived in the French capital on the last day of February 1886, a month short of his thirty-third birthday. He was a man beaten down by life, half-starved, and nearly broken psychologically. He was saved by his brother Theo, who provided him with room, board, and, most crucially, emotional support while he attempted to master the difficult craft of painting. Thus far, Vincent's crude scenes of peasant life rendered in murky shades of brown and gray were both hackneyed and amateurish.

Walt Disney never wrote his memoir, but this book could be considered his autobiography. In 1955, Walt gave a series of interviews to Pete Martin to be printed in multiple articles in the Saturday Evening Post.

She acknowledged in a later edition of the book that she is not the author. "It is Pete Martin's book, and my dad's story," she wrote, further noting this book was "one of the first biographies of my dad.
