THE 14½ LB BUDGIE follows Mike Harding's bestselling THE UNLUCKIEST MAN IN THE WORLD With even more improbable stories, impossible monologues and impertinent songs, all alive with his irreverent and individual wit. When still but a sweet and innocent lad, Mike Harding took a look at himself and at the world around him, and thought to either the world is mad or I am. Since that fateful day, he has spent most of his life trying to find out which of those propositions is actually true. Though, as his Uncle Festus would have said, A man who tests seesaws has an up-and-down sort of life.'
