The Ultimate Book of Heroic Failures by Stephen Pile

Winner of the Sunday Times Humour Book of the Year, this book takes you on a tour to celebrate the absurd failures of the last twenty-five years. It includes 235 stories in total spread from the Outer Hebrides to America, Ireland, Australia, Europe and Africa.
Stephen Pile was a journalist for far too long and is the author of The Book of Heroic Failures. He is also the Founder and President of the Not Terribly Good Club of Great Britain and was the Artistic Director of the First International Nether Wallop Arts festival in 1984, which came about by accident. The next week Stephen met his wife, had three children, became a television critic for fourteen years and hasn't been out of the house since, which is why Britain looks so strange and changed.
