BILLY CONNOLLY: WINDSWEPT AND INTERESTING (PB)

He was born into poverty in a tenement flat in Glasgow in 1942, abandoned by his mother at four years old, and endured appalling abuse by his father. Yet he went on to triumph as a musician, artist, actor, and above all, a fearless and outspoken comedian who broke all the rules. His ferociously funny and articulate appearance on Michael Parkinson's chat show in 1975 catapulted Billy from cult hero to national star. In his first full-length autobiography, he reveals the truth behind his windswept and interesting life.
