![[Graceland: Going Home with Elvis, by Karal Ann Marling]](images/banner66.gif)
Take a tour of the places and objects of Elvis Presley's life and times as Karal Ann Marling narrates them--from Tupelo, Mississippi, in 1935 to 1977 Memphis and beyond. In Graceland: Going Home with Elvis, Marling's travels encompass William Faulkner's Oxford home; Nashville's Grand Ole Opry; the Presleys' Memphis residences from the 16-family-one-bath boarding house on Poplar Avenue to the $40,000 home in West Memphis; Las Vegas clubs, clothes, and quickie weddings; Hollywood movies and rental homes; the New York shows; the Southern Mansion and Margaret Mitchell; Denver and the Fool's Gold sandwich (loaf of bread, peanut butter, jelly, and bacon--all deep fried); and Graceland itself.
On this mini-tour you can read passages from Marling's book about a few of these places: the Shotgun House in Tupelo, the Audubon Drive house in West Memphis, the Solid Gold Cadillac (click on the red car), the Jungle Room of Graceland, and Holly Springs--home of Graceland Too and the "World's Number One Elvis Fan."
