They discovered several bone boxes, typical of the burial custom of the time, sometime prior to 70 A.D. (C.E.). Two of the boxes contained markings

John Lennon was a writer as well as a musician. It was entirely natural for him to put pen to paper whenever he had an idea, a thought, a reaction or a desire to communicate. He lived
- & died
- in an age before emails & texts. Pen & ink was what he turned to. John wrote letters & postcards all of his life; to his friends, family, strangers, newspapers, organisations, lawyers & the laundry
- most of which were funny, informative, campaigning, wise, mad, poetic, anguished & sometimes heartbreaking. For the first time, John's widow, Yoko Ono, has given permission to publish a collection of his letters. The Editor is the Beatles' official biographer, Hunter Davies, who knew John well. John's letters are in a way something of a mystery
- where are they all? Over the years many have come up at auction, then sold to dealers & collectors. Or they have been kept by the recipients, locked up safely. It has been a wonderful piece of detective work tracing many of these 250 letters, postcards & notes, which are arranged in chronological order, so that a narrative builds up, reflecting John's life. It will be visual
- in a sense that many of the letters are reproduced as they were, in his handwriting or typing, plus the odd cartoon or doodle. THE JOHN LENNON LETTERS is fundamentally a book to read & study, providing a unique insight into the mind of one of the great figures of our times. John's letters are read by Christopher Eccleston.
