Barry Trotter And The
Dead Horse
£5.99
Barry Trotter is pretty disreputable & unpleasant. Imagine what he was like as a teenager. Here's the beginning of the whole sorry tale. Did Barry & Ermine do it? (Their homwork, that is.) How exactly did Lon end up with a hole in his head that whistles when the wind blows? Was Lord Valumart always that crass? & where did that ridiculous German accent come from? As funny & twisted as the first two books, BARRY TROTTER & THE DEAD HORSE is also as affectionate towards JK Rowling's originals. This has lead to the books gaining a devoted following amongst fans of Harry Potter as well as being a welcome antidote for the over-egging (eeuwww) of the boy wizard. A process that we're not a part of at all. Oh no. Not even a tiny bit. ...

Product Description

Barry Sheene is arguably the greatest British motorcycle racing rider of all time.

A chancer, lovable rogue & the leading sports star of his era, adored by the public & press alike, he won two world motorcycle championships in 1976 & 1977.

He achieved iconic status by being involved in some horrific crashes & was dubbed the bionic man on account of the amount of metal used to reconstruct his legs after a particularly bad accident. He later emigrated to Australia & became a leading commentator. He died of cancer in 2003.

For the first time Barrys widow, Stephanie, & family have agreed to open up their personal archive to give an unprecedented insight into the two-time 500cc world champion. Via private photographs, memorabilia & letters, award-winning Times journalist & author Rick Broadbent will tell the story of a remarkable man in unprecedented fashion.
