A lifetime of letters, collected for the first time, from
the legendary musician and songwriter. John Lennon was one of the greatest songwriters the world
has ever known, creator of "Help!", "Come Together", "Lucy
in the Sky with Diamonds", "Strawberry Fields Forever",
"Imagine", and dozens more. But it was in his
correspondences that he let his personality and poetry flow
unguarded. Now, gathered for the first time in book form,
are his letters to family, friends, strangers, and lovers
from every point in his life. Funny, informative, wise,
poetic, and sometimes heartbreaking, his letters illuminate
a never-before-seen intimate side of the private genius. This groundbreaking collection of almost 300 letters and
postcards has been edited and annotated by Hunter Davies,
whose authorized biography The Beatles (1968) was published
to great acclaim. With unparalleled knowledge of Lennon and
his contemporaries, Davies reads between the lines of the
artist's words, contextualizing them in Lennon's life and
using them to reveal the man himself.
