The story of the Fab Four and the disparate and colourful people within their orbit, among them Yoko Ono, the Maharishi, Aunt Mimi, Helen Shapiro, the con artist Magic Alex, Phil Spector, their psychedelic dentist John Riley and their failed nemesis, Det Sgt Norman Pilcher.
A kaleidoscopic mixture of history, etymology, diaries, autobiography, fan letters, essays, parallel lives, party lists, charts, interviews, announcements and stories, which joyfully echoes the frenetic energy of an era. Winner of the Bailie Gifford Prize 2020.
