By the time he was ten years old Billy Brown was running a successful little business on the black market: whatever you needed, from bricks & fire wood to condoms, dress material or machetes Billy Brown could get it
- or knew a man who could. &, for the right price, he would deliver it direct to your door in an old carriage pram. This is the highly entertaining & eye-opening memoir of a young boy growing up in 1950s post-war London. With energy & insight, Billy Brown paints a vivid & lively picture of Britain emerging from the ruins of the war, the hunger for opportunity, the growing pace of modernisation, & the pride & optimism that held communities together. Londoners were intent on getting themselves back on their feet & it provided the perfect opportunity for a boy with ambition & a lively imagination. Born in Brixton, south London, in 1942 Billy Brown was a loveable scamp with a nose for mischief. Left to his own devices whilst both his parents went out to work, if there was trouble to be had, Billy would be in the thick of it. Ignoring the shaking of fists from his neighbours, his mother's scoldings & the regular thwack of the cane on his bottom at school, Billy wheeled & dealed, charmed Woolies Girls, planned coronation celebrations, ran circles around circus performers & persuaded villains to work on his terms.

The best-loved comedian in Britain hits the most famous highway in the world on an unforgettable journey. Billy Connolly, music-lover, biker, & scourge of the beige & bland the world over, has dreamed about taking a trip on the legendary Route 66 since he first heard Chuck Berry belting out one of the greatest rock 'n' roll records of all time. & now he's finally had the chance to do it, heading out on his custom-made trike in search of the real America that can still be found beyond the nation's freeways. Travelling every one of its 2, 278 miles from the skyscrapers of Chicago to Santa Monica Pier in California, Billy's journey takes him past many of the essential icons of the United States: the Gateway Arch in St Louis, Monument Valley & the Grand Canyon, & the funky neon-lit gas stations & diners that once lined the route. But it also gives him the chance to get to know the people who call it home, from Mervin the Amish carpenter, to fellow banjo enthusiast & obsessive instrument collector Rob, to Angel, one of the many people determined to keep the spirit of the Mother Road alive. Funny, touching & inspiring in equal measure, the tales he gathers on the way tell the story of modern America. & they might inspire a few people to get on their bikes as well. With his unrivalled instinct for a good story, & the gregariousness that has made him our most engaging national treasure, Billy Connolly is the ultimate guide to the ultimate road trip. The size of this book is 19.7cm in height & 12.7cm wide & has 385 pages ...

After fifty-years of belly laughs, energy & outrage, Billy Connolly has announced his retirement from live st&-up comedy.
