Story
In his joyful book, Billy explores this philosophy and how it has shaped him, and he shares hilarious new stories from his lifetime on the road. From riding his trike down America's famous Route 66, building an igloo on an iceberg in the Arctic, playing elephant polo (badly) in Nepal and crashing his motorbike (more than once), to eating witchetty grubs in Australia, being serenaded by a penguin in New Zealand, and swapping secrets in a traditional Sweat Lodge ritual in Canada, Rambling Man is a truly global adventure with the greatest possible travel companion.

After five long years of waiting for a new novel, Dawn’s millions of fans will fall in love with this tantalising story of motherhood. This is a story about mothers and daughters, love and loss, mistakes and regret. It’s a story about nature and nurture. Ultimately, it’s a story about what makes us who we are - it is a story for all of us.

Story
From a young age, Ed Gamble's immaculate bibs and extremely dirty nappies hinted at his capacious appetite. Before he could walk, Ed already knew that he preferred poached salmon to puree, that celery was a calorie-sapping waste of time, and that mashed potatoes should be made with lashings of butter. Whilst he might ordinarily have been upset by the calls of 'precocious little s--t' coming from his family, he was too busy stuffing his gob and staging rebellions against the patronising list of misery that is a children's menu.

Publisher's Summary
Discover the truth behind the many, many times Dawn French has been a complete twat over the last sixty years.
When I was younger I wanted to be an interesting, sophisticated, semi-heroic, multi-layered person.
BUT.
That kind of perfect is impossible. Being an actual twat is much more the real me. Sorry to boast, but I am a champion twat.
In The Twat Files I will tell you about all the times I've been a total and utter twat. The moments where I've misunderstood stuff and messed up. In my life these have been key because:
Mistakes tell us about ourselves.
Mistakes tell us about others.
Mistakes are hilarious.
Mistakes expose our flaws.
Mistakes show us ourselves honestly.
Mistakes are gloriously human.
My hope is that these stories might fire up yer engines to remind you of just what a massive twat you also are.
Let's celebrate and revel in this most delightful of traits together.
That would be perfectly twatty.

The Twitter in all of us!
Dawn French is the most authentic, honest, open and outrageously hilarious gift to humanity! Thank you Dawn for revealing 'all' of your Self to us in such a vulnerable light-hearted way. I got the message - to take myself not so seriously, to embrace my 'twatness' and have a good laugh at myself..
thereby connecting with all of humanity in all of it's perfect imperfection!!

The honesty of realising when you are a Twat and that is okay.
I liked everything about this book and Dawn doesn’t disappoint. A must read or listen to as it is so enlightening especially when you, the reader, can recall when you were a Twat. Oh what a joy.
