Rambling ManThe hilarious new book from the nation's favourite comedian, Billy Connolly. Being a Rambling Man was what I always wanted to be, to live the way I damn well pleased. I've met the weirdest and most wonderful people who walk the Earth, seen the most bizarre and the most fantastic sights and I've rarely come across something I couldn't get a laugh at. I don't think I've ever had a bad trip. Well, apart from in the 1970s, but that's a whole other story .

surrendering to a transformation of both mind and body from which there is no return

and the howl of a police siren echoed through the surrounding hills

An original

Heroes have become legend

of a ferocious contest between present and past
