All Points North

‘A joy. Celebrates the real world and revels in its mad glory’ Sue Townsend, Sunday Times_____________________________________All Points North is part-memoir and part-excursion. Charting the rugged and uneven terrain of a writer’s formative years – from tax problems to probation to American tours, football to family to running away to Iceland – Simon Armitage explores growing up and being Northern. It’s about humour, language, writing, film, houses, homes, time wasters, one loose tyre, you, me and all points in-between._____________________________________’Laugh-out-loud funny’ Independent’A delight’ Jonathan Raban, Times Literary Supplement ‘A perfect holiday dipper’ Scotsman’An Alan Bennett-style diary’ Daily Telegraph ]]>
