Sandi Toksvig, writer, broadcaster, activist, comic on stage, screen and radio for nearly forty years, could, of course, only write an autobiography with a difference. `It's about a bus trip really, because it's my view from the top of the Number 12 bus. It's not a sensible way to write a memoir at all, probably, but things pop into your head as you travel, so it's my way'`Her writing style is as kooky and digestible as Bill Bryson's, her genius as a raconteur inherited from her Danish journalist father... Hop on this bus, grab a seat up top and prepare yourself for a fun-filled, fact-packed, memorable ride' - Jackie Annesley Sunday Times `It's not as if all my life flashed before me, but much has resurfaced: the solace of books, the love of my dear departed father, the drama and relief of coming out, finding love, my passion for theatre, my drive for justice, an understanding of a kind of loneliness that will forever haunt me, and how I ended up at sixty years old riding a double-decker bus.'`Like browsing through a well-stocked museum of curiosities with a wise and kind guide, it's part celebration, part confession, part call to arms and wholly entertaining. Don't read it on the bus though - it will make you miss your stop' Stephanie Merritt, Observer`Some of the greatest trips lie on our own doorstep' - Sandi Toksvig
