London, Aug 31 (ANI): Hundreds of letters and cards sent by John Lennon to his family and friends are set to be published for the first time.
Author Hunter Davies, who wrote the only official biography of The Beatles in the 1960s, is trying to track down every communique written by the late singer.
"I've found a lot of letters that nobody's ever seen," the BBC quoted him as saying.
Davies also revealed that it was the first time Lennon's widow Yoko Ono had given permission for his private letters to be published, while some of the communication has been tracked down through auction houses selling Lennon memorabilia over the years.
"You see him as a tortured soul. You see him being funny, you see him showing off, you see him depressed, you see him in different stages," Davies stated.
"His first reaction to any emotion, whether it was fury or amazement or hatred, was not really to go to the piano or the guitar.
"He was just as likely to pick up a pen and write it. And he wrote such amusing letters.
"When he wrote a letter or a postcard to somebody, he saw it as a challenge to write a unique piece for them and to amuse them and respond to their humour," Davies added. (ANI)
