The Beatles Summary

The Beatles by Mick Manning

How did four cheeky lads from Liverpool - John, Paul, George and Ringo - become the greatest rock band in the world? Mick Manning and Brita Granstroe m tell the amazing story of The Beatles with captions and strip pictures for fans of all ages.

The story begins... John Lennon' s Liverpool childhood, his Auntie Mimi, his school band The Quarrymen; the developing friendships with Paul McCartney and George Harrison and the forming of The Beatles together with Stu Sutcliff and Pete Best. From amusing adventures in Hamburg to the arrival of manager Brian Epstein and record producer George Martin. Then Ringo Starr joins the group; fame and screaming fans; the famous tour to the USA; the making of the albums, key hit songs and early films... then the later years, with the gigantic Sgt Pepper album, their visit to India, the making of Magical Mystery Tour. Finally the break-up of the band and the new beginnings of solo careers for the Fab Four.

The Beatles Reviews

'words and illustrations ... have been cleverly combined to bring the story of the Fab Four to life in a way that is both accessible and appealing to children.'


'The book's strength lies in its delightful graphics. The illustrations are lovely and beautifully matched in style to fit the story...the pages burst out into psychedelic colours.'


'Outlined consistently well and with anecdotal incidents that have been thoroughly researched and carefully selected. The illustrations are, as ever, brilliant in a combination of visual quality and information enrichment.'


'Charming... an unusual, yet fun, way of teaching a major part of Britain's cultural history.'
