And Away...

The number one bestseller and Sunday Times Humour Book of the Year by national treasure Bob Mortimer. 
‘The most life-affirming, joyful read of the year’ - Sunday Times 
‘Winningly heartfelt’ – The Guardian 
‘A triumph’ – Daily Mail Bob Mortimer’s life was trundling along happily until suddenly in 2015 he was diagnosed with a heart condition that required immediate surgery and forced him to cancel an upcoming tour. The episode unnerved him, but forced him to reflect on his life so far. This is the framework for his hilarious and moving memoir, And Away…\nAlthough his childhood in Middlesbrough was normal on the surface, it was tinged by the loss of his dad, and his own various misadventures (now infamous from his appearances on Would I Lie to You?), from burning down the family home to starting a short-lived punk band called Dog Dirt. As an adult, he trained as a solicitor and moved to London. Though he was doing pretty well (the South London Press once crowned him ‘The Cockroach King’ after a successful verdict), a chance encounter in a pub in the 1980s with a young comedian going by the name Vic Reeves set his life on a different track. And now, six years on, the heart condition that once threatened his career has instead led to new success on BBC2’s Gone Fishing.\nWarm, profound, and irrepressibly funny, And Away… is Bob’s full life story (with a few lies thrown in for good measure.)

ONE MANleading ONE FAMILYacross ONE NATIONwith ONE ARMsharing ONE MESSAGELife is a journey… Hope and Courage Across America set out with a simple message. Our hope is in Christ and the courage is in us to use that hope to face the mountains in front of us. Along the way, Bob and his family not only share the message…they learn it. “I pedaled my handcycle away from the dock and toward Lady Liberty. We stopped at the base of the statue. We had made it. Our bikes had carried us over Snoqualmie Pass and the struggle of that first mountain and through the snowstorms and rattlesnakes of Montana. We raced ahead of dogs crossing the prairies of North Dakota and lingered on the Amish farms of the Midwest. We rolled up and down the hills of Pennsylvania and finally through the city streets of New York. Hope and Courage Across America could pedal no further.”Hope and Courage Across America tells the story of one family’s journey from Gig Harbor, Washington to the Statue of Liberty on bicycles. Along the way, Bob Mortimer revisitss the other roads of his life that brought him through losing three limbs to becoming truly whole...the journey never ends.

Two comedy greats talk life, friendship and the joys of fishing 
The Sunday Times bestseller\nTwo comedy greats talk life, friendship and the joys of fishing...\nBob Mortimer and Paul Whitehouse have been friends for 30 years, but when life intervened, what was once a joyous and spontaneous friendship dwindled to the odd phone call or occasional catch up. Then, Glory Be! They were both diagnosed with heart disease and realised that time is short. They'd better spend it fishing...\nSo they dusted off their kits, chucked on their waders and ventured into the achingly beautiful British countryside to fish, rediscover the joys of their friendship and ruminate on some of life's most profound questions, such as: How did we get so old? Where are all the fish? What are your favourite pocket meats? What should we do if we find a corpse?\nFollowing the success of the BBC's Mortimer & Whitehouse: Gone Fishing series, this wonderful book by two lifelong friends is a love letter to the joys of angling, the thrill of the catch and the virtue of having a right daft laff with your mates. On the fish, the equipment, the food, and the locations, Gone Fishing is the perfect book for fans of Bob Mortimer, Paul Whitehouse and for anyone who wants to read a brilliantly written and endlessly funny joint memoir on life, friendship and joys of fishing.
