In September 1967, the Beatles came to Tonypandy, South Wales, and spent six days with Tom Morris of 23 Upper Chemical Terrace ...
In August 1967, the Beatles were stunned by the death of their manager and mentor Brian Epstein. In the immediate aftermath, John, Paul, George and Ringo sought comfort in the low-key company of a middle-aged Welshman - and in their new but obsessive hobby of racing pigeons. All was well, until the Maharishi arrived to put the cat among them ...
Elsewhere, in 'Dylan Goes Electric', an alternative sixties is evoked, where modernist poets rule the pop charts; 'Villa Nellc te' depicts the Rolling Stones' former south-of-France mansion today, where a small-time local playboy is still busy with the visiting groupies; and the title character in '"Crazy" Luke Dober' becomes the most tragically fated, yet somehow overlooked, man in the history of rock'n'roll.
Euron Griffith's writing sits in a special and dream-like place between immaculate pop documentary and minimal short story telling. Evocative and imaginative, The Beatles in Tonypandy is a must for Fab Four fanatics who think they've read it all. It carves out unique territory that thumps the funny bone and touches the heart.
'A delicious vision of the psychedelic Beatles in a parallel universe, part satire and part rural comedy.' -- Peter Doggett, author of You Never Give Me Your Money
'Beautifully written, warm and captivating stories that will make you smile.' -- Huw Stephens, BBC Radio 1
'Probably the most important music book ever, especially for Beatles and Dylan scholars. Sorry Mr Davies and Mr Lewisohn and Mr Scaduto and Mr Shelton but you have just been gazumped.' -- Paolo Hewitt
'Fond, psychedelic short stories that are rooted in fact - the Beatles, Dylan, the Stones - and evolve into softly comic fiction. The real tales have all been told but Euron Griffith has delightfully invented some new ones' -- Mark Ellen

Most authentic book compilation on the Oregon Trail I ever read. The way the diaries are brought to life from over 170 years ago is a remarkable achievement. Top book of year so far for me for today June 01, 2024 review Candice
This author is a breathe of fresh air in a world of lies and coverups. He brings ancient writings and new science to bring light to mankind. In this amazing work, the well known plato stories from antiquity are now put alongside this new discovery of tablets from beginning of time. This is the most complete explanation of Atlantis every brought to the public. Shame on the governments of Egypt and the world for hiding WHO BUILT THE PHYRAMIDS OF GIZA AND THE SPHINX. Once I read this book I knew why they hid this knowledge. They don't want a population to know how great the world used to be compared to know.
Randomly stumbled upon this book and I am shocked that I haven’t heard about it before. It’s hands down the best story I’ve read in years. People need to read this book. It needs to be turned into a book. This story is just plain awsome. M
This soulful book of personal poetry brought me into the past and into the present---and into my heart.
Read the first book and this 2nd one did not disappoint! Loved every chapter. More please!
