The ultimate gift for Stevie Nicks and Fleetwood Mac fans alike – and anyone who’s ever twirled a baton in a chiffon shawl. The Little Guide to Stevie Nicks is all you need when you need a quick fix of Nicks. For more than 50 years, Stevie has bewitched the world – first as one-fifth of one of the best-selling bands of all time, then as a shapeshifting solo superstar in her own right.

Adorned in leather and lace, this tiny tome is a compact celebration of the woman who helped sculpt rock ‘n’ roll’s golden age – and just in the nick of time, as we approach the 50th anniversary of Rumours. It tells her story, from struggling LA waitress to one of the most influential songwriters of her generation, cited as an inspiration by many of today’s elite entertainers such as Taylor Swift and Harry Styles.

This is the perfect pocket-sized tribute for Stevie devotees, which last time we looked was everyone. Get your copy now before it becomes like gold dust!

SAMPLE QUOTE

“Christine and I made a pact the day I joined Fleetwood Mac. She and I said, ‘We will never be treated like second-class citizens. We will never be not allowed to hang out in a room full of intelligent, crazy rock and roll stars – because we’re just as crazy and just as intelligent as they are.” – Stevie Nicks, interview with Rob Sheffield, Rolling Stone, 28 February 2019

SAMPLE FACT

In 2001, Destiny’s Child – the biggest-selling act of the new millennium – sampled the iconic guitar riff from Stevie’s 1981 hit “Edge of Seventeen” for their No.1 single “Bootylicious”. (They handed her 50 per cent of the songwriting royalties too.) Stevie even appears in the music video, miming guitar alongside Beyoncé, Kelly Rowland and Michelle Williams. “It was an honour to have such a legend in our video”,Beyoncé said.
