In 1971, as her album Blue topped music charts around the world, Joni Mitchell created a dazzling and unforgettable holiday gift for her closest friends. ‘Morning Glory on the Vine’ was an exquisite selection of Joni’s handwritten lyrics and poems, accompanied by more than 30 full-colour illustrations, paintings and watercolours. The book was hand-produced in Los Angeles and limited to 100 signed and numbered copies. Copies of the book have rarely been seen in the past half-century. Now, in conjunction with Joni’s 75th birthday celebrations, ‘Morning Glory on the Vine’, will be made publicly available for the first time. This edition contains the book’s complete original content, plus a new introduction written by Joni and a number of her additional paintings (made at the time of the book’s creation).

In 1971, as her groundbreaking album Blue emerged as a singular commercial and critical success around the world, Joni Mitchell puzzled over what gift to give her friends that Christmas.

The result was a handmade book, with only one hundred copies produced, filled with Joni’s hand-written lyrics and reproductions of many of her stunning drawings – portraits, abstracts, random concertgoers, and more.

Each was given to a friend and, until now, the edition has remained private. Today, with Morning Glory on the Vine, Joni’s long-ago personal Christmas present is a present to us all.
