All hail The King! Celebrate the music, loves, life, and extraordinary times of the greatest rock’n’roller of them all! 

There will never be another performer quite like Elvis Presley with his long sideburns, slick hair, dapper clothes and eccentric live shows. This wonderful tribute in words and pictures looks back at the life of the most successful recording artist of all time, bringing the sight and sounds of his incredible story to vivid life.

Relive his early years, when he burst upon the music scene as a rebellious youngster, shocking parents but driving their children wild with excitement – he was a true master. Chart his meteoric rise as part of the new youth culture that was sweeping 1950s America to his spell in the Army and his successes of the 1960s. 

Take a front seat for Elvis’s movie career and his Las Vegas heyday and mourn The King’s end on that sad and unforgettable day in 1977.

Presley is unquestionably one of the most talked about musicians of the last Century – he helped popularise “rock’n’roll” and set a template for many artists to follow.

The King penguin is the second largest of the species and have four layers of feathers for insulation.  ––––––––––––––––––––––– Available now as an ebook! Lisa Hughes Penguins are aquatic, flightless birds, which live almost exclusively in the southern hemisphere. Antarctica, where a few species can be found, shows that these fascinating birds are highly adapted for life in the water. The majority of species are found in the temperate zone, and the Galapagos live close to the equator. Rather than wings, penguins have evolved dark flippers, which match their outer body color and complement their white plumage to the front.  They are expert “fishermen” who feed on fish, squid, krill, and other sea creatures while they swim underwater. About half their time is spent in the sea, while the other half is spent on land. The Emperor penguin is the largest species and can grow to ...
