Non-Fiction Biography
Often called Britain's Bob Dylan, Donovan was an
unconventional artist, a romantic outsider who ushered in a
new sound to the folk genre. His international hits "Mellow
Yellow" and "Jennifer Juniper" brought folk music to
mainstream audiences.Scheduled to coincide with his 40th
anniversary tour and the release of Sony/BMG's box set, The
Autobiography of Donovan is an openly honest memoir about
the life and times of Donovan. He recalls everything, from
his days as an itinerate teen, camping on beaches and
hitchhiking, to his life as a chart "topping folk star hob"
knobbing with such legends as Joan Baez, Brian Jones, and
even Bob Dylan, as well as his legendary trip with the
Beatles to the Maharishi. With the same poetic charm that
made his songs classics, The Autobiography of
Donovan is a celebration of the "60s, filled with all
the joy, love, and reverie of the times.
