Billy Liar on the Moon. Keith Waterhouse (First Edition Hardback) VINTAGE 1975

BILLY LIAR ON THE MOON by Keith Waterhouse.

Everyone knows what happened to BILLY LIAR, the best-selling novel by Keith Waterhouse. It went on to become an award-wionning film, a long-running West End play, a musical, and a television series. Probably no fictional character since Sally Bowes has lived so many lives. But what happened to Billy himself?

Sixteen years on, he still hasn;t reached London, but he's not far off. Having shaken off all the tiresome busybodies who persecuted his youth (with the exception of his long-suffering mother), hehas aettled in a small, commuter-belt town off the M1. Here he has aquired a new circle of betes boires - including a wife, an eccentric mistress, a drunken superiort in the Council Publicity Office where Billy works, a scheming rival and sundry rat-faced neighbours.

All who remember dream-wasted youth, or pass themselves off as adults but know at heart they are not really fitted for the job will warm to BILLY LIAR ON THE MOON, Keith Waterhouse's brilliantly funny novel is the long-awaited sequel to his enormously successful BILLY LIAR.
