Geraldine Mucha (Thomson, her maiden name) was born in London, although she always considered herself a Scotswoman. During the Second World War, she met and married an exiled, Czech young man, the writer of books and films Jiří Mucha, and son of Alfons Mucha. In 1945 they moved to Prague, in the old, soon-to-be Communist, Czechoslovakia. Beautiful music and really interesting booklet.
