Following Freddie’s journey from Stonetown of Zanzibar to a boarding school in India and onto incredible world-wide rock stardom, this delightful and fact-packed addition to the Little People Big Dreams series is a resounding tribute to the Queen frontman.
In this book from the critically acclaimed, multimillion-copy bestselling Little People, Big Dreams series, discover the life of Freddie Mercury, the trailblazing musician who rocked the world!
Born on the tiny island on Zanzibar off the coast of modern-day Tanzania, young Farrokh dreamt of having a fabulous life. When his parents sent him to boarding school in India, he discovered his true talent for singing, as well as a love of playing rock'n'roll songs on the piano.
After school, Farrokh knew he wanted to be a musician. After moving to London, he became the singer of a rock band called Queen... and the rest is history! Freddie became the biggest glam-rock star ever, touring the world and charming the world with his exuberant zest for life.
This moving book features stylish and quirky illustrations and extra facts at the back, including a biographical timeline with historical photos and a detailed profile of the musician's life.
