Dolly Parton, Songteller by Dolly Parton
4.0

I'm not a Country Music follower so I've never heard the vast majority of Dolly Parton's songs, though of course I do know a few of them. The little I did know of her, however, has always led me to think, "What an amazing woman," and when I came across this recently published book I decided to borrow it from the library. I thought I'd probably flip a few pages and then return it, but actually I read all of Parton's notes that accompanied her songs and I enjoyed all the photos - she really is Country-glam gorgeous. So now I know a lot more biographical data, I know a lot more about her as a person, and my esteem of her has gone up. I also have added a number of songs to my Spotify playlist, both recordings by Dolly Parton and of other artists recording songs she has written. All round, an excellent result from this book borrowed on a whim.
