For the first time, the inside story of legendary entertainer Elvis Presley's life as a husband, father, son, friend and spiritual seeker - Priscilla and Lisa Marie Presley, and other family members, memorialise our greatest star in this stunningly illustrated book. Elvis by the Presleys is the compelling result of an historic gathering of those who not only witnessed from the wings Elvis Presley's public life, but also knew the superstar out of the spotlight. We're witness to the arc of his love affair with Priscilla; to Elvis as a father to his adored Lisa Marie; to his obsessions and passions; and to the strength of his musical legacy which continues unabated today. Here is the tumultuous story of the life of a lovely yet complex man; a portrait of the career of a brilliantly accomplished yet often frustrated artist; an insider's tale of enduring love, told with warmth and unguarded candour ... and a story told the way only a family can tell it.
