Won the Baillie Gifford Prize for Non-Fiction (2020).

One Two Three Four won the Baillie Gifford Prize 2020. A bold and brilliant reinvention of the biography, One Two Three Four interweaves four parallel narratives—one for each Beatle—to tell the story of the band's formation, meteoric rise, and eventual dissolution. Each chapter covers the same time period for all four members, allowing readers to see what John, Paul, George, and Ringo were doing at any given moment—whether together or apart. The result is a revolutionary approach to telling the Beatles' story, one that captures the full complexity and humanity of these four musicians as their lives and careers intertwined and diverged. Tracing their journey from Liverpool to global superstardom, Craig Brown's narrative reveals not just the public moments that defined the band, but also the private struggles, creative tensions, and personal transformations that shaped their music and their relationships with one another.
