Beatle's sketches sold

One of John Lennon's schoolbooks sold for £126,500 ($356,983) at a London auction, more than 50 years after the former Beatle filled it with colourful sketches and poems.

Lennon was only 12 when he made the 10-page book of drawings in pen, pencil and watercolours alongside handwritten verses from classic English poems.

The collection, called My Anthology, includes an illustrated verse from the British poet Lewis Carroll's work The Walrus and the Carpenter.
