From the publisher

'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.
