Monty Don
Growing Out of Trouble
In 2005, Monty Don set up a smallholding where a group of young offenders mainly drug addicts - would work on the land. If the project was a success, Monty planned a national network of farms with the objective of helping people in adversity through working the soil. Growing Out of Trouble is a powerful account of the day-to-day trials and tribulations of young people with terrible problems, and documents an extraordinary journey during which Monty Don had to confront issues he had never encountered, while exercising all his traditional skills as a plantsman.

Terry Wogan
Mustn't Grumble: The Autobiography
Veteran broadcaster Terry Wogan knows very well that 'veteran' is a euphemism for 'clapped out', and he'd be just as pleased if you'd pack it in. This well
preserved husk of a man would like you to know that people don't confuse him with George Clooney for nothing, and that he can still walk eighteen holes virtually unaided. This book is choked with reminiscence. By the time you've finished, drained of all emotion by his relentless meandering, you'll agree with all thinking viewers, listeners and readers: he should never have left the bank....
