Windswept & Interesting

Billy Connolly (Hachette, $49.99) National treasure Billy Connolly reveals the truth behind his windswept and interesting life. Born in a tenement flat in Glasgow in 1942, the artist was orphaned by the age of 4, and survived appalling abuse at the hands of his own family. From the shipyards to folk music and beyond, he went on to become one of the best standup comedians in the world, before cancer and Parkinson’s brought his remarkable live performances to an end.
