THE BEATLES ARE HERE! is a collection of stories that explores the emotional impact, some might call it hysteria, of the Fab Four's February 1964 dramatic landing on our shores.
The arrival of the Beatles was one of those unforgettable cultural touchstones. Through the voices of those who witnessed it or were swept up in it indirectly, and among the many contributors, including Lisa See, Gay Talese, Renée Fleming, Roy Blount, Jr., they describe in essays and interviews how they were inspired by the Beatles.
DID YOU KNOW? Penelope Rowlands, the writer and editor of this book, is one of the screaming girls captured in the iconic photograph on the cover of this book! The true stories of these girls, and how they found each other 50 years later, is also included in the book.
