Join Stanley Johnson, father of London Mayor Boris Johnson, as he takes the audience through his sparkling and hilarious memoir.

Growing up on an Exmoor sheep farm, Stanley Johnson developed a love of adventure, literature and jokes. As a teenager he motorbiked from London to Afghanistan with two friends - an adventure which saw him get kidnapped in Kabul.

After winning Oxford University's top poetry prize he embarked on an adventurous career, brushing shoulders with billionaires, spies and prime ministers.

Stanley Johnson appears in conversation with Sir Hayden Phillips.

'A wonderful jaw-dropping account of a rollercoaster life. Johnson senior does not disappoint... the book is a triumph'
Anne Robinson
