Billy by Pamela Stephenson

The intimate life behind a comedy legend

Good Condition – minor cover and edge wear.

Billy Connolly's fearless humour, quicksilver imagination and unmistakable presence made him a legend to audiences around the world. Yet behind the award-winning performances on stage, film and television lies a more private and complex story. Pamela Stephenson traces his journey from a troubled, desperately poor childhood in the Glasgow docklands to international fame, while exploring the experiences, relationships and contradictions that shaped him. Drawing on the knowledge of a wife as well as the perspective of a biographer, she combines personal insight with frank observation to reveal the man behind the public myth in a compelling, moving and richly entertaining portrait.
