John Lennon was a writer as well as a musician. He lived - and died - in an age before emails and texts. Pen and ink was what he turned to. John wrote letters and postcards all of his life; to his friends, family, strangers, newspapers, organisations, lawyers and the laundry - most of which were funny, informative, campaigning, wise, mad, poetic, anguished and sometimes heartbreaking.
For the first time, John's widow, Yoko Ono, has given permission to publish a collection of his letters. These are arranged in chronological order, so that a narrative builds up, reflecting John's life.
