Synopsis

Bob Dylan is awarded The Nobel Prize in Literature for 2016 "for having created new poetic expressions within the great American song tradition”. Now you can create, color, and interact with his clothes, his songs, and the key people and places in the career of the legendary singer-songwriter and now Nobel Prize winner Bob Dylan.

• A must-have for all Bob Dylan fans and those that aren't yet fans
• The ultimate collector's activity-book to be approached with glue, scissors and coloring pencils, dedicated to all the fans of the legendary singer-songwriter

Beginning with rockabilly, moving on to folk music, sliding over to electric, and falling into a psychedelic phase, like a chameleon Bob Dylan has changed his skin repeatedly over the years, juggling his image with apparent ease and subverting the prevailing social and aesthetic models each time. His Supro guitar and the leather jacket - reminiscent of James Dean; the muse of his hobo period Suze Rotolo and his legendary Triumph Bonneville; the Newport Jazz Festival and the Gaslight Cafe in Greenwich Village: artist Matteo Guarnaccia has documented this pilgrimage of styles stage by stage, year by year, with a wealth of detail. The clothes, faces, music and places of those years become subjects to color in, paper-dolls to dress, and board games to assemble, while the characters of his songs provide the members of a colorful circus.

This is the ultimate collector's activity-book to be approached with glue, scissors and coloring pencils, dedicated to all the fans of the legendary singer-songwriter.
