* "[The story] is all told so naturally and with such sweet verve that readers may not notice that this is the legendary guitarist of the Rolling Stones. The vibrant and evocative pictures are done by Richards' daughter...Over swathes of rich color she lays pen-and-ink drawings of figures and instruments, architectural details, free-floating musical notes--and cakes and tea things--that brilliantly carry the power of love and music into visual imagery. A CD of the author reading the story and playing a bit of "Malagueña" is included, and it is pretty wonderful, too. A beautiful example of artistic bookmaking, a story of family love and lore, and the magic of music personified in a way that's utterly accessible to children--and their dazzled parents.

    I ordered one and received two, both were useless. Neither one counted steps. I didn't realize the seller didn't accept returns. I would never use this seller again.

    I'm sorry the items didn’t work out. However, I responded to your message promptly and issued a full refund without any questions asked, even though the listing stated no returns. I always aim to provide fair and responsive service, and I believe this situation was handled with care and efficiency. A review should reflect the overall experience, not just the product.

    Wonderful Kids Book by a Legend and his daughter...

    A consisely penned children's strory about Keith as a young boy and the care he received from his grandfather during post war London, his formative years, as together they went on extended walks about town - visiting the odd music store along the way - and sparking a guitar love affair that went on to change everything. Sensitively illustrated by daughter Theodora Richards, this book will also charm "us older kids" as Keith tips his hat to the talented gent with so much heart, who made the effort to care, spending quality time with his grandson when he most needed it. A wonderful CD bonus has Keith narrating the tale along with his accoustic rendition of Malaguena - his first and only music assignment from his belowed Gus, on his very first guitar. A unique and fine book for all kids - big ...
