Publisher's Synopsis

Keith Richards family was very musical. His mother always had the radio on, his grandmother played the piano, he sang duets with his aunt, and his grandfather, Gus, played the violin, saxophone, and guitar. Gus y yo offers a rare and intimate look into the childhood of the legendary Keith Richards through this poignant and inspiring story that is lovingly illustrated with Theodora Richards's exquisite pen-and-ink collages. This unique autobiographical picture book honors the special bond between a grandfather and grandson and celebrates the artistic talents of the Richards family through the generations. It also includes selected photographs from the Richards family collection and an exclusive audio CD featuring bonus content.

La familia de Keith Richards vivìa en Dartford, Inglaterra, y era muy musical. Su madre siempre tenìa la radio puesta; su abuela tocaba el piano; su tìa y él cantaban a dúo canciones de los Everly Brothers; su abuelo, Theodore Augustus Dupree (Gus), tocaba el violìn, el saxo y la guitarra. Keith se crió durante los últimos años de la guerra mundial y la posguerra, cuando no era fácil hallar el lado alegre de Londres. Pero aquel niño y su abuelo pasearon por todos los rincones de la ciudad. Durante esas caminatas visitaban talleres donde se reparaban instrumentos rotos. Un dìa, Gus le mostró a Keith varios acordes de guitarra y le enseñó a tocar Malagueña. Ésa fue la introducción de Keith a la música y el origen de este conmovedor relato ilustrado por Theodora Richards, hija del autor.
