Publisher's Synopsis
Billy is delighted to be retiring from teaching. He doesn't want to cross the Sahara Desert or take up mountaineering. No, all he wants is some peace and quiet, but it seems his retirement isn't going to be as peaceful as he thought. For starters, his children and grandchildren regularly come to stay, leaving a trail of disorder and confusion in their wake. Then there's the shock of realising that the young man inside isn't the man reflected in shop windows. When he writes his memoirs, though, and they become a bestseller, he finds himself having one of the biggest adventures of his life.
