Keith Richards: Gus & Me – The Story of My Granddad and My First Guitar

Opis

Long before there was a band, there was a boy: a young Keith Richards, who was introduced to the joy of music through his beloved granddad, Theodore Augustus Dupree, affectionately known as “Gus”, who was in a jazz big band and is the namesake of Keith’s daughter, Theodora Dupree Richards.

“Gus & Me” offers a rare and intimate look into the childhood of the legendary Keith Richards through this poignant and inspiring story that is lovingly illustrated with Theodora Richards’s exquisite pen-and-ink collages. This unique autobiographical picture book honors the special bond between a grandfather and grandson and celebrates the artistic talents of the Richards family through the generations.

A nostalgic look back at happy childhood days as the Rolling Stones star remembers his grandfather – a former big band player who encouraged his grandson to take up the guitar, in this charming picture book whimsically illustrated by Keith Richards’ daughter.
