Fab Four Friends
Fab Four Friends: The Boys Who Became the Beatles | Susanna Reich
2 posts | 1 read | 1 to read
In 1957 in Liverpool, England, a young lad named John Lennon and his band played music at a local church fair. In the audience was Paul McCartney, who liked what he heard and soon joined the group. Paul's friend George Harrison kept showing up at rehearsals until the older boys finally let him in. Eventually they found the perfect drummer, Ringo Starr, and the perfect name: The Beatles. Told through a lyrical text and stunning paintings, this book spotlights four ordinary boys growing up amid the rubble of postwar England who found music to be a powerful, even life-saving, force.

#MarchIntoThe70s Day 31: While #SexAndDrugsAndRockAndRoll were not really the focus of this picturebook biography of The Beatles, it remained riveting. This is somewhat text-heavy – but perfectly understandable, given how Reich is essentially telling four different life stories here – while at the same time providing sufficient context to show the birth of a band that would change the world.
