FORMAT Hardcover CONDITION Brand New Publisher Description In his first memoir, beloved comedian and national treasure Bill Bailey shares stories of his life - and the animals hes met along the way.Bill Bailey has always had dogs, including a Patterdale terrier called Rocky who would travel with him in the van to his first shows and occasionally join him on stage. Fast forward a few decades and Bill has shared his home with a variety of birds, dogs, frogs, chameleons and an armadillo called Tommy. We even had a giant chicken, a huge Malay cockerel called Kid Creole. After a few stand-offs he took against me. He had to go in the end, I was being stalked in my own back garden.That chicken apart, animals have always been at the heart of an extraordinary life as one of the nations favourite comedians, actors, musicians and (thanks to Strictly) dancers: from terriers to the orangutans of Sumatra and the parrots that share his breakfast every morning in west London. Full of the leftfield humour, wit and wisdom that has made Bill Bailey such a beloved performer around the world, My Animals and Other Animals is the story of Bills life; but more than that, its the story of how all of our lives are enriched by the animals who accompany us on that journey. Author Biography Bill Bailey is a comedian, musician, actor and presenter. He is perhaps most well known for his live shows, including Larks in Transit, Qualmpeddler, Limboland, and The Remarkable Guide to the Orchestra. His work on television includes programmes such as Never Mind the Buzzcocks, Black Books and QI. He is also the author of Bill Baileys Remarkable Guide to British Birds and Bill Baileys Remarkable Guide to Happiness. He lives in west London with a small menagerie of animals and humans. Review Gently amusing and frequently informative. . . Just a chapter with my morning tea lifted my mood, and helped me approach the day with a dose of Bailey-esque curiosity, tolerance and humour. * Telegraph *You can tell a true naturalist from a hobbyist by the fact that they can get madly smitten even by animals they cant cuddle - so, hello bats, cockroaches, a tasselled wobbegong...
