A very special edition of Peter and the Wolf featuring drawings by Bono will be published on 6th October. Here's some more info, courtesy of our friends at Bloomsbury:

A unique and remarkable publishing venture - a stunning high quality boxed set which will be the Christmas hit for 2003 U2's Bono illustrates Prokoviev's PETER AND THE WOLF in a stunning 64pp book - with help from his daughters Jordan and Eve Enhanced CD, narrated by rock god and ex Virgin Prune Gavin Friday - one of Bono's oldest friends. International marketing campaign with exhibitions and launch in Dublin, London and New York

When Prokoviev premiered PETER AND THE WOLF in 1936 he can scarcely have foreseen quite how successful his playful classic would become or how consistently it would delight children of all ages for years to come. Now in a remarkable publishing venture, Bono and his childhood friend Gavin Friday of the Virgin Prunes have collaborated to produce an irresistible and enchanting version of the classic story in book form and enhanced CD. The beautifully produced hardback story book will contain 64 pages of Bono's original paintings - with help from his daughters Jordan and Eve - to illustrate the story. And the enhanced CD gives a totally fresh, funny and original rendition of the classic musical store, narrated in a sly and hilarious reading by Gavin Friday.

Royalties from the project will be donated to the Irish Hospice Foundation - Bono's heart is especially close to this cause after the death of his father last year.

I received an email from one of the gavin friday newsletters that contained this:

The cover you've seen is the cover of the box
that holds the book and CD.
- The image on it is 'Peter' ( wearing fly glasses = Bono) and the wolf, drawn by Bono.
- The book's cover will be a picture of Peter, the CD will have the Wolf on it.
- The CD will be a digipack. Sleeve information will be in the book.
- The CD (described to us as an "E-CD") will contain the music and narration, bio's of the musicians, video outtakes of Bono painting with his kids and the Friday/Seezer ensemble recording the music. This footage is being put together by Sebastian Clayton.[/red]
- Bono's drawn the cat in the story wearing a bra. He based the feline on his wife Ali. ('an cat dubh...') Peter's
grandfather's based on his own grandfather.
