"It's auto-apocrypha, full of my anecdoubts. Like things to do with my relatives, my family, the block I grew up on, the things that scared me (animals), the discovery of fire, you know things like that. I've written to age 10/ I talk to myself, sort of remember things about my family, things they told me, things I think I heard. Then I wonder how I picked up that information, as it seems so familiar. But then it is twisted through my own imagination, which is warped. I write the text out longhand, but my drawings, which illustrate my text, I do on computer. I'm taking it totally freely, it's really FUN! I'm pleased with what I am doing. The look is so unique-- it doesn't look like anything else I have ever seen!" -- Jerry Garcia (author)

4.0 out of 5 stars
Interesting view of the life of a young Jerry Garcia,
This review is from: Harrington Street (Hardcover)
This book is an autobiography of Jerry Garcia through age 10. The book was unfortunately not finished due to Jerry's untimely death, but the book's publishers have taken great lengths to bring out what it was supposed to be. Many of the pages include actual hand written stories by Jerry, along with a typset version. The book provides a lot of insight about the early life of this interesting person.The stories are not the only thing included, however. The book also features many of Jerry's drawings and paintings that help to show what his early childhood would have been like. Although many of these drawings appear to be in an early state and not finished, they are still a nice inclusion. This book is an excellent source of insight to Jerry's early life, and I recommend it to anyone who would like to learn more about him. Although it is very obvious that it was a work in progress when he died, those who worked on Harrington Street made the book into a very enjoyable read.
