Beautifully illustrated in full colour, The Robert Pattinson Album by Paul Stenning is a breathtaking visual biography of one of the world's most talked-about young actors. The hugely successful vampire romance Twilight was a box-office phenomenon, and Robert is that smash-hit film's breakout star.

In the space of a few short years, the twenty-two-year-old Londoner has gone from amateur stage performer to full-blown Hollywood idol, and his staggering ascent is already the stuff of legend. The public first took notice when Robert appeared as Cedric Diggory in Harry Potter And The Goblet Of Fire - a performance that broke hearts and earned plaudits in equal measure. After honing his craft by taking parts in a sequence of low-budget indie films - including the lead in acclaimed Salvador Dali biopic Little Ashes - Robert won the role that would change his life forever; that of charismatic teenage vampire Edward Cullen in Twilight, the film adapted from author Stephenie Meyer's best-selling book series.

Twilight 's success has made Pattinson an icon to millions, swelling his obsessive fan base to overwhelming global proportions. Illustrated with a wealth of photographs; candid shots, film stills, and rarities, this book explores Robert's childhood in Barnes, his first forays into theatre, and his early television roles. It details his thoughts on the making of Twilight, his passion for art and music, his feelings about sudden fame, and his plans for the future.

The Robert Pattinson Album is a stunningly designed tribute to the actor's extraordinary journey so far. This is by far the most comprehensive of all the current biographies about Robert Pattinson.
