''...a fabulous book''

Chris Evans (BBC Radio 2)

A stunning collection of rare and unseen photographs and stories charting Ed Sheeran's rise to global superstar, by long-time collaborator Christie Goodwin.

Featuring a foreword and additional photo captions by Ed's father, John Sheeran.

"When I first met Ed Sheeran he was unknown and unsigned - just a young busker trying to make it big. But I could see something special in Ed. I agreed to photograph him for free to help him on his way to the top.

That was the beginning of a 10-year collaboration, with the two of us crossing paths as Ed became one of the biggest stars on the planet - a story told here, through my camera.

Including images and stories I’m sharing for the first time, with additional captions by Ed's father John, this is an up-close and intimate view of Ed Sheeran."
