Billy Connollys Tracks Across America

Billy Connolly

£20.00

In 2011, ‘Billy Connolly’s Route 66’ was published – the story of the legendary Scottish comedian’s journey along the most famous road in America. The book (which tied-in to an ITV series), performed really well – clearly, armchair travelling with Billy Connolly as your guide is an appealing prospect to many readers. In the years that have passed since the previous book, Billy has had more than his share of challenges – in 2013 he was diagnosed with prostate cancer (he’s now been given the all-clear); on the same day he was diagnosed with the early stages of Parkinson’s disease. But being a determined 72-year-old, Billy won’t stop the illness put him off one more exploration of the country he knows and loves so well.

Description

An epic trip across America with much-loved national treasure and comedy legend, Billy Connolly

Billy Connolly has spent much of his life in the United States, where he now lives. It’s a country he knows and loves a great deal, but even someone as well-travelled as Billy can always discover new things about such a vast nation. So he’s off on the move again, this time via the tracks of the great railroads that helped to build the country.

Billy’s adventure takes him on an incredible trip through the backyard of America, tracing the routes taken by the first European settlers westwards from Chicago to California, then back down south and eastwards through Arizona, Texas, Alabama and finally New York, over 6,000 miles and 26 states later.

It’s a journey through a country you don’t get to see from 30,000 feet in the air – the real America of friendly people with fascinating tales to tell which not only give us an insight into their lives, but also into the life of their great homeland. And it’s a journey that couldn’t be shared with a more entertaining companion.

Hop aboard and join Billy on a trip you’ll never forget.
