Jeremy Clarkson finds the world a perplexing place. It's just the idiots, meddlers and do-gooders who spoil it for the rest of us. Laugh-out-loud funny and as straight-talking as ever, Clarkson bursts their pointless little bubble, while celebrating special things that we should hold dear. Sit back and enjoy as Jeremy puts the world to rights.

The world is an exciting and confusing place for Jeremy Clarkson - a man who can find the overgrown schoolboy in us all. In The World According to Clarkson, one of the country''s funniest comic writers has free reign to expose absurdity, celebrate eccentricity and entertain richly in the process. And the net is cast wide: from the chronic unsuitability of men to look after children for long periods or as operators of ''white goods'', Nimbyism, cricket and PlayStations, to astronomy, David Beckham, 70''s rock, the demise of Concorde, the burden of an Eton education and the shocking failure of Tom Clancy to make it on to the Booker shortlist, The World According to Clarkson is a hilarious snapshot of the life in the 21st century that will have readers wincing with embarrassed recognition and crying with laughter. It''s not about the cars!

At least, the farm shops doing a roaring trade in candles even if they smell like Jeremys knacker hammock.So never mind the rain, the skirmishes with the local planning department and the gargantuan hole in Jeremys wallet. Because its hard to feel too gloomy about life when theres a JCB telehandler, a crop-spraying hovercraft and a digger waiting in the barn.For any man with several metric tons of powerful machinery at his fingertips must be doing something right . . .Number 1 Sunday Times bestseller, October 2024

Get tucked in to a third bestselling helping of Clarksons Farm from our favourite wellie-wearing wannabe farmer, Jeremy ClarksonBrilliant . . . laugh-out-loudDaily TelegraphOutrageously funny . . . will have you in stitchesTime Out---After three years, Jeremy Clarkson has discovered the golden rule of farming:whatever you hope will happen, wont. Enthusiastic schemes to diversify face defeat at the hands of the Council Planning department, or derision from Kaleb. Jeremys plans for a business empire founded on rewilding and nettle soup are doubted by Lisa. And the stifling thickets of red tape keep only one person smiling Cheerful Charlie, who charges by the hour. But the animals couldnt be happier. A rented bullcalled Break-Heart Maestro is delighting the cows. The pigs are bringing home the bacon. And the goats are . . . most probably psychopaths. Yet on the good days it hard not to be optimistic. Where else do you get to harvest blackberries with a vacuum cleaner? Maybe its not just Break-heart Maestro who gets a happy ending?----Readers are loving Diddly Squat: Pigs Might FlyAnother funny book from Jeremy.

As I Was Saying...is the seventh book in Jeremy Clarksons best-selling TheWorld According to Clarkson series.***Crikey, the world according to Clarksons been a funny old place of late . . .For a while, Jeremy could be found in his normal position as the tallest man on British television but, more recently, he appears to have been usurped by a pretend elephant.But on paper the real Jeremy remains at the helm. Thats as it should be. For nearly thirty years he has been fearlessly leading the charge as one the best comic writers in the country. And in 2015, he shows no sign of slowing down. So, whether its pondering If Jesus might have been better off being born in New Zealand Why reflexive pronoun abuse is the worst thing in the world How Pam Ayress head trumps Gordon Geckos underpants Or what a television presenter with time on his hands gets up toJeremy is still trying to make sense of all the big stuff.Circumstances change. Nothings forever. But As I Was Saying provides glorious proof that Jeremy remains as funny, puzzled, excitable, outspoken, insightful and thought-provoking as ever. As if you ever doubted it . . .***Praise for Clarkson:Brilliant... laugh-out-loudDaily TelegraphOutrageously funny... will have you in stitchesTime OutVery funny . . .

Jeremy Clarkson gets REALLY riled up in Round the BendWhats it like to drive a car thats actively trying to kill you?This and many other burning questions trouble Jeremy Clarkson as he sets out to explore the world from the safety of four wheels. Avoiding the legions of power-crazed traffic wombles attempting to block highway and byway, he he:- Shows how the world of performance cars may be likened to Battersea Dogs Home- Reveals why St Moritz may be the most bonkers town in all of the world- Reminds us that Switzerland is so afraid of snow that any flakes falling on the road are immediately arrested- Argues that washing a car is a waste of timeFunny, globe-trotting, irreverent and sometimes downright rude, Round the Bend is packed with curious and fascinating but otherwise hopelessly useless stories and facts about everything under the sun (and just occasionally cars). Its Jeremy Clarkson at his brilliant best.Praise for Jeremy ClarksonBrilliant . . . laugh-out-loudDaily TelegraphOutrageously funny . . . will have you in stitchesTime OutVery funny . . .

Jeremy Clarkson invites us to Motorworld, his take on different cultures and the cars that they drive.There are ways and means of getting about that dont involve four wheels, but in this slice of vintage Clarkson, Jeremy isnt much interested in them.Back in 1996, he took himself off to twelve countries (okay, eleven - he goes to America twice) in search of the hows, whys and wherefores of different nationalities and their relationships with cars. There were a few questions he needed answers to:* Why, for instance, is it that Italians are more interested in looking good than looking where they are going?* Why do Indians crash a lot?* How can an Arab describe himself as not a rich man with four of the worlds most expensive cars in his drive? * And why have the otherwise neutral Swiss declared war on the car?From Cuba to Iceland, Australia to Vietnam, Japan to Texas, Jeremy Clarkson tells us of his adventures on and off four wheels as he seeks to discover just what it is that makes our motorworld tick over. _____________Praise for Jeremy Clarkson:Brilliant . . . laugh-out-loud Daily TelegraphOutrageously funny . . . will have you in stitchesTime OutVery funny . . .

In I Know You Got Soul, Jeremy Clarkson writes about the machines that he believes have soul. It will come as no surprise to anyone that Jeremy Clarkson loves machines. But its not just any old bucket of blots, cogs and bearings that rings his bell. In fact, hes scoured the length and breadth of the land, plunged into the oceans and taken to the skies in search of machines with that elusive certain something.And along the way hes discovered:*The safest place to be in the event of nuclear war*Who would win if Superman, James Bond and The Terminator had a fight*The stupidest person hes ever met*What an old Cornish institution called Arthur has to do with 0898chat lines*And how Jean Claude Van Damme might get eaten by a lion . . .In I Know You Got Soul, Jeremy Clarkson tells stories of the geniuses, innovators and crackpots who put the ghost in the machine. From Brunels SS Great Britain to the awesome Blackbird spy-plane and from the woeful - but inspiring - Graf Zeppelin to Han Solos Millennium Falcon, they cant help but love them in return.Praise for Jeremy Clarkson:Brilliant . . . laugh-out-loudDaily TelegraphOutrageously funny . . . will have you in stitchesTime OutVery funny . . .
