Beatles with an A by Mauri Kunnas

These are the first beats of the Beatles' career as only legendary rock cartoonist Mauri Kunnas could tell them. Hilarious moments and details that even dedicated fans won't remember having heard before are all told with Kunnas's characteristically raucous humour and virtuosic drawing skills. The riotous tale of the first hesitant steps of the world's most famous band. From rocking-horse to the recording studio in Abbey Road, where the first singles were laid down. It is a story told thousands of times over, but never in quite such a wacky screwball manner.

Mauri Kunnas (born 1950) is without a doubt Finland's most successful children's book author. To date, he has published over forty books in thirty-five languages in thirty-six countries (including Finnish and Finland), totaling about 9 million copies. His children's novels have sparked a lot of attention all across the world. Santa Claus is the most well-known worldwide. It's been translated into twenty-six languages so far.

The Canine Kalevala and Beatles with an A are two of his adult works. He has an uncanny ability to recast history in new and amusing ways, as well as to add his own charming spin to old stories and legends. Yet his writings are always filled with a wonderful sense of warmth and joy. In 1975, Mauri Kunnas released his first picture book, which marked the beginning of his illustrious career.

Mauri Kunnas appreciates the Beatles, playing the guitar, movies, and history in his spare time, as well as observing thunderstorms.
