The John Lennon Letters

by John Lennon and Hunter Davies - £12.99  Orion Publishing Co (2016)
paperback    ISBN 13: 9781780225036 | ISBN 10: 1780225032

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 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 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.
