Publisher Description
In ALAN PARTRIDGE: NOMAD, Alan dons his boots, windcheater and scarf and embarks on an odyssey through a place he once knew - it's called Britain - intent on completing a journey of immense personal significance.
Diarising his ramble in the form of a 'journey journal', Alan details the people and places he encounters, ruminates on matters large and small and, on a final leg fraught with danger, becomes - not a man (because he was one to start off with) - but a better, more inspiring example of a man.
This deeply personal book is divided into chapters and has a colour photograph on the front cover. It is deeply personal. Through witty vignettes, heavy essays and nod-inducing pieces of wisdom, Alan shines a light on the nooks of the nation and the crannies of himself, making this a biography that biographs the biographer while also biographing bits of Britain.

Lovely stuff
Not my words. The words of Shakin’ Stevens
Cracking!
Put quite simply: ruddy heck it’s a cracking read (I should say cranking listen as I have the audiobook version). Footnote: I would usually prefer to avoid ‘listening’ to books; as at one time I would become enraged, or even spit at the idea that the illiterate could illiterally (my word) steal knowledge without putting in any basic effort; but since receiving an audiobook copy of My Story by Dale Winton, from Dale Winton at the Wroxham Beer festival in 2007, I were or was inspired to actively put my Misophonia aside. Thanks Wints.
