The John Lennon Letters

First ever collection of the letters of John Lennon, an international publishing event.

Description

A lifetime of letters, collected for the first time, from the legendary The Beatles musician and songwriter John Lennon.

John Lennon is one of the world's greatest-ever songwriters, creator of 'Help!', 'Lucy in the Sky with Diamonds', 'Imagine', and dozens more. Now, his letters have been collected and published, illuminating as never before the intimate side of a private genius.

Hunter Davies, author of the only authorised biography of The Beatles, has tracked down almost three hundred of Lennon's letters and postcards—to relations, friends, fans, strangers, lovers, and even to the laundry. Some of the letters are tender, informative, funny, angry, and abusive, and some are simply heart-breaking—from his earliest surviving thank-you note, written when he was ten, to his last scribbled autograph given on 8 December 1980, the day he was shot, aged forty.

Now available in The John Lennon Letters, these personal writings provide an unparalleled insight into the mind and heart of an iconic figure.
