JOHN LENNON The John Lennon Letters (2013 UK 408-page softback book edited and with an introduction by Hunter Davies. A lifetime of letters, collected for the first time, from the legendary musician and songwriter. Hunter Davies, author of theonly authorised biography of The Beatles, has tracked down almost three hundred of John'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. Many are illustrated with John's own drawings, doodles and jokes. Davies tells the story of each letter and together they form a compelling narrative, from Lennon's 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)
