By Prince
43 Ratings
The Beautiful Ones tells the tale of how Prince became Prince. There are four sections to the book. The first is the memoir that Prince was penning prior to his untimely death; through his own poetic words, these chapters transport us to his youth. The second section uses an evocative scrapbook of words and images to take us back to Prince's formative years as a musician, before the publication of his debut album. The book's fourth section, Prince's original handwritten treatment for Purple Rain—the last phase of Prince's self-creation, in which he retells the autobiography of the first three parts as a heroic journey—shows us Prince's evolution through candid images that lead up to his greatest achievement.
