Gus & Me: The Story of My Granddad and My First Guitar

There is such a fine line between being a genius and being a knucklehead, sometimes. It is easy to get distracted by the hard living rock guitarist image and forget that Keith is one of the greatest songwriters of the 20th Century. Keith has led a remarkable, incredible life, despite making choices that were sub-optimal at certain points. His essentially humanity shows through in this warm little story. Keith has this ability to look at life and appreciate all of the little marvels that others might take for granted. Like Keith's best songwriting, this story delivers an emotional impact without being overtly sentimental. This story works in the context of being a children's story, but still feels like an authentic tale being told. It isn't simplistic or trite, yet still makes sense to kids. As always, Keith is full of surprises.

This was donated in a school district in honor of my husband‘s memory, and my husband was a rock ‘n’ roll musician so the fact that Keith Richards wrote this book is a fantastic gift Who knew the man who we used to call the acid king we dedicate his life to helping others

Wonderfully written children's books by one of rocks greatest guitar players, Keith Richards, and the illustration by his daughter is amazing. It truly is a very inspiring story written for children. It provides a positive story about the relationship between a grandfather and his grand child and how this grandfather was the main inspiration in Mr. Richards learning and mastering the guitar. In this time of such decisiveness its nice to have a book which provides such a positive inspiration towards a "want it now" generation.

Such a sweet story; loved it and can't wait to read it to the grands!

It’s Keef, so gold rings ( five of ‘em!)

Nice book for kids. Tells great story without being way to complicated and artwork is nice for kids.

This is a wonderful little book! It's nice to see a softer, reflective side of Keith Richard's. Such a sweet story and a fun cd. My go-to baby shower and kids' birthday gift. I highly recommend!

A precious children's book, but really nice for the rock music, Rolling Stone, Keith Richards fan as well. The accompanying CD is a touch of whimsy for fans of Keith and the illustrations by his daughter, Theodora, are enchanting. This may have been a "family affair" book, but there is nothing chintzy about it. It is a quality, well-written, beautifully illustrated book which I would recommend for both children and adults. I enjoyed it very much and for the record I am a Beatle fan, not necessarily a Rolling Stone fan.

Una història molt guapa sobre la relació de Keith i el seu padrí, il·lustrada per la seva filla. El CD amb Keith explicant la història també està bé, però hi trob a faltar alguna cançó.

Excelente libro de la nieta de una leyenda del rock

L'histoire du grand-père de Keith RICHARDS, guitariste et leader avec Mick JAGGER des Rolling Stones, et de sa première guitare. L'édition en import est intéressante puisqu'il y a un CD joint au livre. Un CD où Keith RICHARD se présente et raconte lui-même cette histoire sur une mélodie qu'il joue à la guitare acoustique. Magnifique ! Un conte pour enfants, certes, mais par Keith RICHARDS et illustré par sa fille, Théodora. On y trouve même dans les dernières pages de l'ouvrage des photos de Keith en grand-père ainsi qu'une photo plus ancienne de Keith avec sa fille Théodora s'essayant à la batterie. Un histoire de famille attendrissante...

Love this book, i wish my kids where still little, I would read them this book every night, oh well I'll just read it to myself, lovely story about a grandson and his grandad , who just happens to be the one and only Keith Richards, and the Art by Theodora is beautiful. A must must have . . .

L’importanza del trasmettere le passioni in poche pagine e poche parole. Molto bello
