Four of JM Barrie’s finest plays, plus two documentaries exploring the history of Peter Pan
Peter Dogett's book is a fascinating, rip-roaring and timely re-telling of a corner of music history that was hugely important but is all too often forgotten. The rehabilitation of Crosby, Stills and Nash's reputation (and of Young's contributions here) is long overdue
—— Frank TurnerEngaging… [Doggett] use[s] the saga of Crosby, Stills, Nash & Young as a metaphor for the Woodstock generation and their doomed mission to return to the garden
—— Will Hodgkinson , The Times, *Book of the Week*[A] meticulous chronicle of Crosby, Stills, Nash & Young… Doggett carefully charts the stalled sessions and schemes caused by this alpha-male jostling… For fans who want detailed chronology, it will be a joy, but Doggett’s book is also a deft portrait of a golden age tarnishing even as the band sang
—— Victoria Segal , Sunday TimesEspecially good on the musicians early lives and early Seventies peak
—— ChoiceDoggett… presents a solid, steady, evenhanded portrait. He loves the music without being slavish, and pays each of the musicians their due
—— Anthony Quinn , Mail on SundayExhaustively researched… If you think you know the history of CSN&Y then read this and, like me, you will be surprised at what you learn
—— Tom Povey , RNRDoggett…treasure[s] the band’s early oeuvre and writes with empathy about the group
—— Holly George-Warren , Times Literary SupplementThe Wham! star charts his treasured friendship with George Michael, from their meeting at school in 1975 to George's untimely death in 2016. The duo left a legacy of pop classics from the exuberant Wake Me Up Before You Go-Go to the evergreen Last Christmas, and Ridgeley's enthusiasm for life in a chart-topping band is as infectious as their music
