Singin' & Swingin' and Gettin' Merry Like Christmas

Maya Angelou's phenomenal seven volume autobiography is now available on the Virago Modern Classics list with updated cover art.

The third title in Maya Angelou's bestselling seven-volume autobiography is reissued with a new look to celebrate its induction to the Virago Modern Classics list.

A memoir about motherhood and music from the bestselling author of I KNOW WHY THE CAGED BIRD SINGS

'A brilliant writer, a fierce friend and a truly phenomenal woman' BARACK OBAMA

Maya Angelou's seven volumes of autobiography are a testament to the talents and resilience of this extraordinary writer. Loving the world, she also knows its cruelty. As a black woman she has known discrimination and extreme poverty, but also hope, joy, achievement and celebration.

In her third marvellous volume, music and her son are the focus of Maya Angelou's life. She is on the edge of a new world: marriage, show business and a triumphant tour of Porgy and Bess.
