Beatles memorabilia disappoints sellers

A John Lennon schoolbook containing an illustration of a walrus has been sold at auction for £126,500 (€182,800).

Featuring the 12-year-old Lennon's drawing of Lewis Carroll's poem The Walrus And The Carpenter, the book had been expected to reach up to £150,000 (€216,700). The poem inspired him to write The Beatles' 1967 song I Am The Walrus.
