A Hard Day’s Write, 3e: The Stories Behind Every Beatles Song

A lavishly illustrated, rollicking account of the real people and events that inspired the Beatles’ lyrics.

Who was “just seventeen” and made Paul’s heart go “boom”? Was there really an Eleanor Rigby? Where’s Penny Lane? In A Hard Day’s Write, music journalist Steve Turner shatters many well-worn myths and adds a new dimension to the Fab Four’s rich legacy by investigating for the first time the ordinary people and events immortalized in the Beatles’ music and now occupying a special niche in popular culture’s collective imagination.
