The Magical Gardens at Friar Park
‘One gets an enormous sense of wonderment whilst reading Claude Hitching's marvellous description of the replica ‘Matterhorn’ and Rock Garden at Friar Park in his newly published book, Rock Landscapes – The Pulham Legacy, published by The Antique Collectors Club (Cover Price £35). He also describes the magical lakes, with their stepping stones - used to great effect in George's video "Crackerbox Palace" - that made Sir Frankie Crisp's astounded guests believe that the Butler was walking on water as he crossed over them on his way to bring them a tray of drinks. Sir Frank built the 120-roomed neo-Gothic mansion, and landscaped the 37 acres of gardens that comprise Friar Park, and George immortalised him in his beautiful tune "Ballad of Sir Frankie Crisp - Let It Roll".
The Japanese Garden with the Tea House - as seen in the video for "True Love" - is another whimsical delight. Most of all, however, Claude's description of the underground grottoes and the caves leaves one with the feeling that the World was indeed blessed for having people like Sir Frankie - who had the vision to commission a place of such fantasy - and George, for stepping in so that it could not be sold off to a developer in 1970. Instead of being torn down it remains a Paradise lovingly restored by George with his own hands.
Friar Park is just one of the many magnificent gardens throughout England that employed James Pulham & Son to create spectacular settings from stone, and this book has been dedicated to Claude's Grandfather, who worked for the firm. Although Claude was not allowed to photograph the gardens, he has used original photos and postcards from the turn of the century to illustrate this magical place. It’s the nearest that many of us will ever get to a stroll through one of George's greatest achievements"
To buy the Book please visit Claude’s website at www.pulham.org.uk, where you can go to the ‘Buy the Book’ page to find direct links to the product pages of ACC (the publisher), Amazon.co.uk and Amazon.com. All of these contain the ‘Look Inside’ facility to enable you to preview a few pages before you buy, and, once you’ve done that, you’ll be hooked.

Trip of a Lifetime to India with Paul Saltzman for George's 70th Birthday Anniversay in 2013
Paul is an Honorary Member of For George - he had no hesitation in lending us his beautiful photo of George for the Tenth Anniversary Tributes in Liverpool. He shares his recollections with great generosity and we think this is just going to be the most wonderful journey...
Dear George Admirers,
Spending time with George at the ashram in India, in 1968, changed my life. Many people have asked "What's India like?" and
"Tell me what the Beatles were like when you met them?" India is a place I love, and in honour of George's 70th birthday, I invite
you to join me on an intimate, and small-group tour I'll be leading to some of the most beautiful places in India--including Rishikesh
and several other important George-related locations. For information please see the attached link and for questions just email
me directly: paul@sfl-films.com
Best wishes,
Paul

The Plaque For George - displayed in the "Liberation War Museum" in Dhaka
Moves are afoot to award George the highest Medal of Honour for his services to Bangladesh.
At this time foreigners are
not eligible to receive this
honour...
But in the hearts of the Bangladeshi people
George occupies a very
special place.
Hopefully, the Government will be swayed by popular opinion.
