From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia. A Tree Grows in Brooklyn is a 1943 novel written by Betty Smith. The story focuses on an impoverished but aspirational, second-generation Irish-American, adolescent girl and her family in Williamsburg, Brooklyn, New York City, during the first two decades of the 20th century. The book was an immense success.
Based on a poem by Robert Browning, Grow Old With Me was one of John Lennon's final recordings. It was released on the posthumous 1984 collection Milk And Honey. Lennon wrote the song while holidaying in Bermuda in June and July 1980. His handwritten lyrics bore the annotation: Fairylands July 5, 1980 Bermuda. He had been challenged to write it by Yoko Ono, who had written Let Me Count The Ways after the sonnet of the same name by Elizabeth Barrett Browning. Lennon arranged for a collection of Robert Browning's poems to be sent to Bermuda.
