Since Madonna, The First Album's release in the early 1980s, Madonna has sold a remarkable 300 million records worldwide, making her the top-selling female recording artist of all time. Actress, director, businesswoman, author, mother, charity campaigner, fashion designer, entrepreneur... Madonna's life and phenomenally successful career have been extraordinarily varied - and inspiring. Michelle Morgan, author of the bestselling Marilyn Monroe: Private and Undisclosed, provides a vivid account of the Queen of Pop's life in over 200 full-colour photographs, including rare and previously unseen shots of Madonna at work and at play, while extended captions shed new light on her albums, videos, books, tours, fashion, charity work, friends and family.
