"The Stones: A History in Cartoons" combines previously unpublished entries from Bill Wyman's personal diaries with cartoons by some of the greatest satirical artists of the last 40 years. Over more than four decades, The Rolling Stones have been the inspiration for hundreds of cartoons and Bill Wyman has collected them, meticulously recording when and where they appeared. Arranged chronologically, this book combines 150 individual cartoons with the entry from Bill's diary written on the day the drawing was published. Covering everything from the infamous drugs bust to Wyman's leaving the band, and from screaming fans to the day a Bristol hotel refused to serve the Stones lunch because they weren't smart enough, this is a unique and personal look at one of the greatest bands of the twentieth century.
Bill Wyman was born in London and joined The Rolling Stones in 1962. His previous books include Stone Alone: The Story of a Rock and Roll Band, Wyman Shoots Chagall, Bill Wyman's Blues Odyssey and Bill Wyman's Treasure Islands (Sutton, 2005). He is a dedicated historian and archaeologist, with many of his finds now housed in museums. Richard Havers co-authored Bill Wyman's Blues Odyssey and Bill Wyman's Treasure Islands. He is the author of several other books.
