The Beatles | Hunter Davies

Pickpick

This is the only authorised biography of the Beatles, written by journalist Hunter Davies, who accompanied them for a few years.

It's in-depth, well written and witty.

It's not the perfect biography though, but it's totally readable, rich in detail and full of photographs I've never seen before.

If you are interested in the Beatles, this is a must have.

I am a huge Beatles fan. My sister gave me a set of coffee cups years ago and I decided to bring this one to work with me.

Also #throwback to my first time I went to Disneyland when I was 22. So happy it was my husband who finally made that wish come true.

Susannah I ❤️ that coffee cup!! 6y

Just wanted to share this drawing I did fairly recently...I know it's not really book related, except from I read a book about the Beatles XD I am currently working on a John Lennon drawing. If anyone else is into art, then feel free to give any feedback/criticism as I am looking to improve 😊 Does anyone else have any hobby besides reading that they want to share?

Suzze Great drawing! Looks just like him! I still have my "I Love Paul" button from the Beatle era. Used to wear it on my uniform sweater. 8y
Suzze Oh, and my hobby is road rallying (solving clues and driving from place to place). 8y
Mahatma_Canejeeves Excellent drawing!! ✏️ 8y

This was an insight into the lives of the Beatles and how became the best band of all time. Highlights for me were the parts about their childhoods and the parts describing them coming up with the songs 'Getting Better' 'With a little help from my friends' and 'Magical Mystery Tour'. At one point Paul began playing "a very slow, beautiful song about a foolish man sitting on a hill". I also enjoyed the chapters describing their lives in 1967/8.
