Description
Donovan's autobiography chronicles his life from a post-war childhood in Glasgow to international stardom as one of the leading figures of 1960s music. Music and poetry provided solace, while Buddhist teachings and Woody Guthrie's influence shaped his artistic path. The book explores Donovan's deep love for a muse who inspired both personal and creative turmoil, and how their relationship's end affected him profoundly. This candid account also delves into early experiments with drugs, friendships forged with influential musicians, and the spiritual journey that reunited him with his lost love through chance. A frank and introspective look at Donovan's life, this autobiography offers unique insights into his music and poetry, as well as his rise to fame and the unexpected twists of fate that brought him full circle.
