Abba and Mamma Mia written by Claire Welch is a fantastic gift or self purchase for fans of the Swedish foursome. Abba are consistently one of the most popular bands of all time and the stage musical Mamma Mia has ensured that their music reaches a new audience.The big screen version of Mamma Mia starring Meryl Streep, Pierce Brosnan and Colin Firth was one of summer 2008's movie Blockbusters and this book was released to coincide with the film. The book tells the story of the Swedish band and their meteoric rise to the top, but also looks at the success of their music since they split up.
