THE BEATLES

In the 1960s, The Beatles were probably the most famous pop group in the whole world. Since then,
there have been a great many groups that have achieved enormous fame, so it is perhaps difficult now to
imagine how sensational The Beatles were at that time. They were four boys from the North of England and
none of them had any training in music. They started by performing and recording songs by black Americans
and they had some success with these songs. Then they started writing their own songs and that was when they
became really popular. The Beatles changed pop music. They were the first pop group to achieve great success
from songs they had written themselves. After that it became common for groups and singers to write their own
songs. The Beatles did not have a long career. Their first hit record was in 1963 and they split up in 1970. They
stopped doing live performances in 1966 because it had become too dangerous for them – their fans were so
excited that they surrounded them and tried to take their clothes as souvenirs! However, today some of their
songs remain as famous as they were when they first came out. Throughout the world many people can sing
part of a Beatles song if you ask them.

At the age of sixty-five, Laura Ingalls Wilder began writing a series of novels for young people based
on her early experiences on the American frontier. Born in the state of Wiscosin in 1867, she and her family
were rugged pioneers. Seeking better farm land, they went by covered wagon to Missouri in 1869, then on to
Kansas the next year, returning to Wisconsin in 1871, and traveling on to Minnesota and Lowa before settling
permanently in South Dakota in 1879. Because of this continuing moving, Wilder's early education took place
sporadically in a succession of one-room schools. From age thirteen to sixteen she attended school more
regularly although she never graduated.

At the age of eighteen, she married Almanzo James Wilder. They bought a small farm in the Ozarks, where
they remained for the rest of their lives. Their only daughter, Rose, who had become a nationally known
journalist, encouraged her mother to write. Serving as agent and editor, Rose negotiated with Harper's to
publish her mother's first book, Little House on the Big Woods. Seven more books followed, each chronicling
her early life on the plains. Written from the perspective of a child, they have remained popular with young
readers from many nations. Twenty years after her death in 1957, more than 20 million copies had been sold,
