Don Mclean's American Pie: A Fable

A long, long time ago lived a lonely newspaper boy. So begins the heartfelt story commemorating the fiftieth anniversary of one of the most iconic and debated songs in music history. American Pie, A Fable weaves elements and themes from Don McLean's classic song with experiences from the singer songwriter's own early years into a stunningly visual and uplifting tale for all ages. This fable reveals the emotional journey of a newspaper delivery boy in the late '50s who discovers the joy of friendship and music, eventually learning that when you recognize what truly makes you happy, you're never really alone. American Pie, A Fable is lushly illustrated (with numerous nods to American Pie's" nostalgic themes and cryptic lyrics), poetically written and a book McLean says he hopes will become a bedtime standard for families. Released in 1971, American Pie was named one of the top five songs of the century by the National Endowment for the Arts and the Recording Industry Association of America and the original recording was selected for preservation in the National Recording Registry by the Library of Congress as being culturally, historically or artistically significant.
