Followed by wolves, knocked down by a bus, confronted by bears, chased by a naked man with a gun & stranded with severe frostbite, Rosie`s breathtaking 20, 000-mile solo journey is as gripping as it is inspiring. Rosie`s solo run around the world started out of sorrow & heartache & a wish to turn something around. Heartbroken when she lost her husband to cancer, Rosie set off from Wales with nothing but a small backpack of food & equipment, & funded by the rent from her little cottage. So began her epic 5-year journey that would take her 20, 000 miles around the world, crossing Europe, Russia, Asia, Alaska, North America, Greenl&, Icel&, & back into the UK. On a good day she`d run 30 miles, on a bad day she`d only manage 500 yards, digging herself out of the snow at -62 degrees C, moving her cart inches at a time. Every inch, every mile, was a triumph, a celebration of life, & 53 pairs of shoes later Rosie arrived home to jubilant crowds in Tenby, Wales. Rosie`s incredible story is a mesmerizing page-turner of the run of her life. It will wake up the sleeping adventurer in you; it will inspire hope, courage & determination in you; but most of all it will convince you to live your life to the full & make every day count. ...

A major & controversial new biography of one of the most compelling & contradictory figures in modern British life. Born Alexander Boris de Pfeffel Johnson, to most of us he is just ` Boris`
- the only politician of the age to be regarded in such familiar, even affectionate terms. Uniquely, he combines comedy with erudition, gimlet-eyed focus with jokey self-deprecation, & is a loving family man with a roving eye. He is also a hugely ambitious figure with seemingly no huge ambitions to pursue
- other than, perhaps, power itself. In this revealing biography, written from the vantage point of a once close colleague, Sonia Purnell examines how a shy, young boy from a broken home became our only box-office politician
- & most unlikely sex god; how the Etonian product fond of Latin tags became a Man of the People
- & why he wanted to be; how the gaffe-prone buffoon charmed Londonders to win the largest personal mandate Britain has ever seen; & how the Johnson family built our biggest
- & blondest
- media & political dynasty. The first forensic account of a remarkable rise to fame & power, Just Boris unravels this most compelling of political enigmas & asks whether the Mayor who dreams of crossing the Thames to Downing Street has what it takes to be Prime Minister.
