KYLIE: LA LA LA will include over 300 photos, most of which have never been seen before. Some originate from Kylie's personal archive, and show Kylie at her most relaxed and natural, revealing a side to her that is only ever seen by her friends and family.

This whole collection documents a remarkable career spanning over fifteen years. There will be 40,000 words of text by Kylie and William Baker, one of Kylie's closest friends who has worked as her stylist and creative director for nearly a decade.

Kylie also writes about 'Neighbours', her singing career, her relationships, the tours she's done, and about her extraordinary life in general. This is an inspirational study of the separation between Kylie's public and private personas, of her strengths and weaknesses, fears and hopes. It's also a fabulous celebration of friendship and fashion.
William Baker was six years old in 1931 when his mother left him at an orphanage, promising to return for him when she was settled in a new home. But years passed, and she virtually vanished from his life. At age fifteen, Baker unceremoniously "graduated" to a boys' home, where orphans were forced to do hard labor and sometimes abused.Leaving Lila is the true story of Baker's escape from "The Home." With his meager possessions stuffed into a Boy Scout knapsack, Baker lived by wits and determination, on the road in search of his mother and a better life. Baker skillfully crafts a memoir that is moving, suspenseful, and sometimes shocking. From the rare perspective of a ninety-year-old who experienced America's underbelly in the 1940s, Leaving Lila is a firsthand account of a frightened boy who escaped horror only to find more trouble. But along the way, he also found love in encounters so intense they were indelibly imprinted upon his memory.
William Baker was an extraordinary man, and this brief memoir provides a fascinating insight into his life and work. From his early years in Bridgwater to his later achievements as a scientist and inventor, this book tells the story of a remarkable individual who made a lasting impact on his community and the world at large.
