Description

• This book marked John Lennon's debut as a published author, establishing his reputation beyond music. • Lennon's writing style in 'In His Own Write' was notably influenced by literary figures such as Lewis Carroll and humorists like Spike Milligan. The book features an introduction penned by fellow Beatle, Paul McCartney. It achieved significant commercial success, selling over 600,000 copies in the UK alone. John Lennon once commented that he 'always set out to write children's book, but they'd turn out to be not for children' when referring to his literary endeavors. Lennon collaborated with Paul McCartney on at least one piece in the collection, titled 'On Safairy with Whide Hunter'.

  1. Good deal, as described, packaging entirely adequate. The case is not a common item. I have not evaluated it for function, but I'm capable of doing whatever it needs to have it work. Thanks so much for listing this nice example.
