In 1971, as her album Blue topped music charts around the world, Joni Mitchell created a dazzling and unforgettable holiday gift for her closest friends. Morning Glory on the Vine was an exquisite selection of Joni's handwritten lyrics and poems, accompanied by more than thirty full-colour illustrations, paintings and watercolours. The book was hand-produced in Los Angeles and limited to one hundred signed and numbered copies. Copies of the book have rarely been seen in the past half-century. Now, in conjunction with Joni's 75th birthday celebrations, Morning Glory on the Vine: Early Songs and Drawings, will be made publicly available for the first time. This edition contains the book's complete original content, plus a new introduction written by Joni and a number of her additional paintings (made at the time of the book's creation).
Featuring a new introduction and previously unseen material, Morning Glory on the Vine will make a perfect Christmas gift and will appeal to fans of The Flame by Leonard Cohen, Kurt Cobain's Journals, How To Be Invisible by Kate Bush and Useless Magic by Florence Welch Joni Mitchell has been described by Rolling Stone as one of the 'greatest songwriters ever' and is recognised as one of the most important and influential female recording artists of the late 20th century.
Publication of this landmark text will be a global event with simultaneous publication worldwide
