Produktbeschreibung
A very different view of the world of Elvis Presley is presented in these comic fictional stories. His manager, Colonel Parker, his family and the Memphis Mafia all feature in episodes such as the siege of Graceland when the military police try to arrest Elvis. Fans of the King of Rock and Roll will learn of Liberace's hair-raising encounter with Elvis's pet chimpanzee, screen legend Greta Garbo coming out of retirement to make a film musical, and the invitation from HM The Queen to Elvis to attend the Royal Highland Games. Some stories are based on real events, such as the Million Dollar Quartet and being drafted into the army, but here they are given a comic twist. They are written by a lifelong fan who asks: Who'd have thought Elvis and life at Graceland could be so funny.
Autorenporträt
Robert Wells became an Elvis fan at the age of 11 and he remains one more than 60 years later. This deep affection and knowledge translate into these stories which present a comic vision of the life of the King of Rock and Roll. He has made a pilgrimage to Graceland, Tupelo and the Sun recording studio, as well as spending a night in the Burning Love suite at Heartbreak Hotel. He is a former journalist whose first job was with the Wolverhampton Express & Star, and later a corporate communications publisher based in London. A widower with a son and daughter, he and his partner live in Leighton Buzzard. Robert¿s interests include, naturally, rock and roll, and he has amassed a superb collection of Elvis records, his favourite being ¿Lawdy Miss Clawdy¿. Other interests are Charles Dickens, ancient Greek and Roman history, and gravestones.
