About
The hilarious new audiobook from one of Britain's best-loved national treasures! As told by the man himself.
This isn't a book of life lessons. It's not going to tell you make your bed, stand-up straight, or any of that. There's no blueprint to follow here. But, at 43 years of age, and with a bit more time on his hands than usual, Freddie Flintoff has had a moment to reflect and he's noticed that, although there's been little method in the madness, there has been the occasional common thread.
The Book of Fred is filled with anecdotes, observations and the odd opinion all told with Fred's trademark humour and no-nonsense style. Fred's approach to life draws on the sublime (his series winning performance in the 2005 Ashes) and the ridiculous (singing Elvis Presley's 'Suspicious Minds' in front of a live audience), from highs (making the transition to top TV presenter) to occasional lows (accidentally upsetting the lovely Bruce Forsyth), from the profane (discussing Shane Warne's barnet with Hollywood royalty) to the profound (why 'having a go' leads to self-respect).
Throughout, Fred shares his code for success, happiness and a life fully lived, gleaned from half a lifetime of hard yakka on the wicket, in the dressing room, behind the wheel, in the boxing ring, and even treading the boards of a stage musical. And gives his readers a laugh, some joy, and (the occasional) pause for thought along the way. Andrew 'Freddie' Flintoff is one of Britain's most beloved sportsmen and TV personalities. He is a bestselling author, broadcaster, former international cricketer and current England Lions coach. The new book from star cricketer and bestselling author, Freddie Flintoff! Freddie's track record is unblemished. Across his career he has sold over 350,000 books. His most recent, Right, Said Fred, sold over 70,000 copies gross in hardback. As a presenter for Top Gear, A League of Their Own, ITV's Don't Rock the Boat and his recent BBC documentary on Bulimia, Freddie has truly moved on from his cricketing roots to a personality in his own right and is fast becoming a national treasure. The Book of Fred will continue in the vein of Do You Know What? and Right, Said Fred as the perfect vehicle for Fred's humour and no-nonsense approach Fred is fully engaged and will be promoting this new book across the national media as well as through his social channels: Twitter (1.9m followers and, Instagram (940k followers).
