Publishers Description: The first-ever collection of the letters of John Lennon, a must-have for all fans of The Beatles. A lifetime of letters, collected for the first time, from the legendary musician and songwriter. John Lennon is one of the worlds greatest-ever song writers, 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 Johns 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. Many are illustrated with Johns own drawings, doodles and jokes. Davies tells the story of each letter and together they form a compelling narrative, from Lennons 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.
