RASCALS WRITINGS


Below please find articles about the Rascals in PDF format. I can't vouch for their accuracy, but they are interesting.

Articles marked with ** are especially recommended for containing source material - either contemporary accounts of the group or interviews with group members.

If you don't have a PDF reader, you can download it from the Adobe website.
