A Conversation About Happiness

The Story of a Lost Childhood

By: Mikey Cuddihy

Orphaned at the age of nine, Mikey Cuddihy left the U.S. to board at an experimental British school. A vivid and intense memoir of coming of age amidst the unraveling social experiment of the late 1960s. When Mikey Cuddihy was orphaned at the age of nine, her life exploded. She and her siblings were sent from New York to board at experimental Summerhill School, in England, and abandoned there. The setting was idyllic, lessons were optional, pupils made the rules. Joan Baez visited and taught Mikey guitar. The late sixties were in full swing, but with total freedom came danger. Mikey navigated this strange world of permissiveness and neglect, forging an identity almost in defiance of it.

Reprehensible

Polite Histories of Bad Behaviour

By: Mikey Robins

Rollicking and informative, Reprehensible: Polite Histories of Bad Behaviour is your guide through some of the most shameful behaviour indulged in by humanity’s most celebrated figures, as told by Mikey Robins, one of Australia’s most loved comedians. It is often said that we live in an era of constant outrage, but we are definitely not the inventors of outrageousness. Let’s be honest, human beings have always been appalling. Not everyone and not all the time, but our history is littered with those whose work and deeds have rendered them . . . reprehensible. Sometimes it’s our most esteemed luminaries who behave the worst. What are we to make of Catherine the Great’s extensive collection of pornographic furniture, Hans Christian Andersen’s too-much-information diary and Karl Marx’s epic pub crawls? Or hall-of-fame huckster William McCloundy, who in 1901 actually ‘sold’ the Brooklyn Bridge to an unsuspecting tourist, and the pharaoh who covered his slaves in honey to keep flies off his meal? Did you know about the royal ticklers of the House of Romanov, and the bizarre coronation rituals of early Irish kings? (Let’s just say that eating a white horse wasn’t the weirdest part of the ceremony.) So sit back and rest your conscience: there will be a host of scoundrels, bounders and reprobates, tales of lust and power aplenty, as we indulge in that sweet spot where history meets outrage, with just a bit of old-school TMZ thrown in for good measure. Praise for Reprehensible: ‘Finally, Mikey Robins has put his vulgar mind to good use, telling history’s lesser known grubby yarns. I love it!’ Tom Gleeson

Gypsy Boy on the Run

My Escape from a Life Among the Romany Gypsies

By: Mikey Walsh

An English man struggles to define himself and his sexuality outside the bounds of traditional Romany culture in this intimate memoir. “Funny, touching, and heartbreaking in equal measures . . . a coming-of-age tale like no other.” —Grazia magazine Mikey Walsh didn’t know what life was like beyond his Gypsy community. But after fleeing home at age fifteen, he had no choice but to find out. After centuries of persecution, Gypsies are wary of outsiders, and if you choose to leave, you can never come back. Torn between his family and his heart, Mikey struggled to come to terms with the Gypsy culture and its violent, conservative traditions. At last, he decided to set out on his own. He soon discovered the outside world wasn’t all that he expected, and his life would never be the same again. A shocking yet ultimately triumphant memoir, Gypsy Boy on the Run follows Mikey as he comes to terms with himself, his family, and his past—and builds a new life for himself. “A great-hearted book of tenderness and brutality.” —Kirkus Reviews “Every bit as stellar as its predecessor. If you’re searching for something for vacation, weekending or just because, Gypsy Boy on the Run is the best escape.” —The Washington Blade

Idiots, Follies and Misadventures

By: Mikey Robins

The history books are full of heroes and villains … but what about all the idiots? Comedian and armchair historian Mikey Robins tells the astonishing story of human stupidity, one idiot at a time. Two things are infinite: the universe and human stupidity, and I’m not sure about the universe. Albert Einstein History is full of heroes and villains. But then there are the idiots. Idiots, Follies & Misadventures shows that human stupidity has always been our constant companion. History tends to omit tales of human fallibility. We overlook the dubious and ridiculous contributions made by history’s tawdry parade of knuckleheads. But this book is a call to arms … knuckleheads assemble! And once assembled, prepare to be mocked. Just because history has mostly swept these idiots under the carpet does not make them by any means unsung heroes. These are rather ridiculous cautionary tales, to amuse and add some perspective to our current rash of stupidity. Tales such as: Why you shouldn’t soak your underpants in mercury. The booze cruise that plunged England into civil war. The Russian nuclear briefcase and pizzas. Flatulence jars and The Great Plague of London. The deadly green wallpaper that proved a problem for Britain's trendy middle-class.

Big Man's World

By: Mikey Robins,Tony Squires,Steve Abbott

BIG MAN'S WORLD OVER 30, OVERWEIGHT AND OVERDONE BIG MAN'S WORLD is the perfect book for all those who are sick of 'keeping up appearances', the ideal manual for letting down gracefully (or disgracefully). It's a book for men who want to stop pretending to like theatre and stay at home and watch the footy, to let their guts hang out the way nature intended, to shun all forms of vegetarianism and woo woo, to find and set free the caveman lurking within. BIG MAN'S WORLD takes us back to a simpler time when SNAGS were for smothering in tomato sauce and when the men's movement were a bunch of blokes in a backyard, when eating six pies was a cuase for celebration not alarm, and when quantity was vastly preferable to quality. Triple J's Mikey Robbins, co-author of the bestselling THREE BEERS AND A CHINESE MEAL, co-host of the top-rating Breakfast Show, and star of 'Good News Week' on the ABC, Steve Abbott aka The Sandman, author of the bestselling SANDMAN'S ADVICE TO THE UNPOPULAR and THIS IS MY SURFBOARD and star of radio and stage, and Tony Squires, one of the stars of Triple M's Andrew Denton Show as well as the perennially popular Saturday TV column in the Sydney Morning Herald, have been friends for over twenty years and are the perfect candidates to write such a book (despite being somewhat reluctant to commit to anything htat resembles work - but what can ou expect of the exponents of a philosophy that extolls the vitues of sloth and procrastination?) BIG MAN'S WORLD is an hilarious tribute to that last bastion of Untamed Australia: The Bloke. Lavishly illustrated with photographs, puzzles and illustrations by Michael Bell - example attached - BIG MAN'S WORLD will revolutionise the way men think about themselves and the way the world thinks about them; in this age of milennial change and shifting perceptions, it's good to know (and accept, ladies) that some things will never change. AUTHOR INFORMATION Steve, Mikey and Tony were all born in Newcastle and became friends during their no doubt troubled adolescences. They all gravitated towards the entertainment industry as the occupation least likely to demand hard work. All ended up in that strangely hip Eighties outfit, The Castanet Club before heaving themselves towards Sydney, where they are now mini-icons of the airwaves, radio being a unanimous choice for them because of the total lack of dress code involved. Mikey occasionally dons a suit for his appearances in 'McFeast' and 'Good News Week', but Steve and Tony are committed tracksuitpantsmen. SELLING POINTS *** The perfect Father's Day present for anyone with a sense of humour, particularly if they've got a bit of a gut. *** We will support the Father's Day aspect of the book by sending out BMW window display kits, including stubbie holder. thongs etc. *** All three authors have great media profiles: Mikey with Triple J and his breakfast program with Paul McDermott and Sandman (rating very well), as well as his regular spot on 'Good News Week' and co-presenter on 'McFeast'. Steve Abbott as the Sandman appears on Paul and Mikey's show three days a week, and Sandy's books and T-shirts are bestsellers. Tony Squires' television column in the Sydney Morning Herald has an enormous following, and he is currently writing for Andrew Denton and appearing on his Triple M Breakfast Show. *** We will have great fun with the media on BIG MAN'S WORLD, and the book will be alluded to on Triple J and promoted heavily on Triple M. The boys will also be appearing on eachother's shows and will get their mates in the media to give them a hand. Tony is sure he can get an extract into the Sydney Morning Herald. *** The book will be fabulously illustrated by Michael Bell and will also include silly photos of the boys and lots of pages of puzzles. *** There will be a fabulous celebrity-packed launch for BG MAN'S WORLD that will involve us taking over Clovelly Bowling Club and hosting a Celebrity Darts Competition.
