The inspiring and entertaining memoir from national treasure and star of Only Fools and Horses, Sir David Jason.

Sir David Jason's career, from the outside, might seem like one glorious procession to national treasure status. But the truth is that he's had more knockbacks, more ups and downs, and more roundabout routes along his bumpy journey in life than one of Del Boy's get-rich schemes.

David's north star for navigating life's challenges has always been his positive outlook and his resilience. This time next year, we'll be millionaires was what Derek Trotter once said. This certainly wasn't always the case for David, growing up in a working class family in London in the rubble of the Blitz. Before he was making us laugh on TV, he was a jobbing electrician. But with every challenge he has faced in life, he's always looked forward, and has never given in.

In this latest volume of memoirs, told in his characteristically warm and funny style, David reveals the hard-won wisdom of a life lived doggedly getting through one day, looking to the next, and always chasing what's new on the horizon. It will touch, entertain and inspire readers, and might even teach them a thing or two about living a good life.
