Pop royalty, Ringo Starr, meets picture book A-lister, Ben Cort!
Based on the lyrics of the world famous Beatles song, this glorious
picture book follows five children on a magical journey through the
Octopus's garden. The playful Octopus takes them on a wondrous
underwater adventure - riding on the backs of turtles, playing
pirates in a sunken city and sheltering from a storm in the
octopus's cave. "Beatles fans will lap up the opportunity to
introduce children and grandchildren to this picture book version
of the song ..." Daily Mail "The pictures are superb." The Times
"Glorious picture book." Sunderland Echo "Octopus's Garden is a
visual delight thanks to Ben Cort's stunning illustrations...The
song is so catchy that you'll be singing it long after you've
finished the book!" Creative Steps
"This is a way of putting my life out there, because if I were to
write a memoir, there'd be five volumes before I got to The
Beatles. So I'm going at it this way, through photographs and
quotes. And this is, I feel, a better way for me to do it." - Ringo
Starr "Ringo's picture book, Ringo in book form. The essence of
Ringo." - David Lynch Another Day In The Life is introduced and
narrated by Ringo Starr, with forewords by legendary movie director
David Lynch and rock photographer Henry Diltz. Ringo shows us the
world as seen through a Starr's eyes, in more than 500
observational photographs and rare images from the archives, and an
original text of nearly 13,000 words. From Los Angeles to Tokyo and
everywhere in between, Ringo's photographs celebrate his life in
music and offer a glimpse behind the scenes. Many are taken during
historic events, such as Ringo's acceptance of a Grammy Lifetime
Achievement Award and his return to New York's Plaza Hotel, 50
years after The Beatles first visited the USA. Another Day In The
Life, Ringo Starr's 184-page monograph featuring Paul McCartney,
Joe Walsh and a host of All-Starr friends, is captioned throughout
with an original commentary. Meditative, witty and always engaging,
Ringo reflects on a legendary life in music. RINGOBOOK.COM

From behind the drums to behind the lens, in PHOTOGRAPH Ringo Starr
opens his archives to share memories of his childhood, The Beatles
and beyond. Rare and unseen photographs taken by Ringo, with others
reproduced from his family albums, are showcased here for fans of
The Beatles and anyone passionate about modern music. Accompanied
by Ringo's original manuscript of over 15,000 words, PHOTOGRAPH
gives unprecedented insight into the life of one of the world's
greatest musicians. From Pwllheli to Delhi, obscurity to
superstardom, join Ringo on his travels in his photographic memoir.
This is the one that turned the world upside-down. Released as its
creators evolved from pop group to phenomenon, WITH THE BEATLES
both affirmed promise and proclaimed genius. A slew of memorable
Lennon/McCartney compositions embraced pop at its most
multi-faceted, robust, melancholic, excited, andwistful. Their
grasp of melody and harmony startled, yet for every unusual chord
sequence employed, the Beatles' vigor and sense of purpose remained
true. Influences and mentors were acknowledged by a handful of
cover versions, but the strength of the album lies in the group's
own creations. WITH THE BEATLES freed artists to record their own
material, and the course of pop was irrevocably changed.
