Über diesen Titel

Comedian and best-selling author Tony Hawks is embarking on his greatest adventure yet - moving from city life in London to deepest Devon in the West Country.

You can take the man out of the city, but is the countryside ready for him? Comedian and born-and-bred townie Tony Hawks is not afraid of a challenge - or indeed a good bet. He's hitchhiked round Ireland with a fridge and taken on the Moldovan football team at tennis one by one. Now the time has come for his greatest gamble yet - turning his back on comfortable city life to move to the wilds of the West Country.

With his partner, Fran, in tow and their first child on the way, he embraces the rituals of village life with often absurd and hilarious results, introducing us to an ensemble of eclectic characters along the way. One minute he's taking part in a calamitous tractor run, the next he's chairing a village meeting, but of course he still finds time for one last solo adventure before fatherhood arrives - cycling coast to coast with a mini pig called Titch.

In the epic battle of man versus countryside, who will win out?

Having read another review here on audible, I almost didn't buy this book, but I am very glad I did! I found it very consistent with Tony's other work and very enjoyable. A humorous and frank account of settling in the countryside and having a baby. Hope to see all of Tony's other books on here soon.

Simply wonderful

If you like "Round Irland with a fridge" don't bother with this book. Not funny, not even read funny. You lost it, Tony.
