He has never walked more than a dozen miles in his life before, his health is uncertain, his boots are new, and he is too diffident to talk to anyone he meets along the way. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e His slow, solitary progress up the spine of Britain is watched by an unseen audience - his family and friends at home. How far will he get before he is forced to give up? Is he being heroic or merely selfish? \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e As the days of his absence go by the old alliances and quarrels inside the family shift and alter. What emerges is a story about the arbitrariness of human endeavour and about the tenacious complexity of human relationships; about one man's glimpse of the country he lives in; about courage and about love.First and Last was directed by Alan Dossor in a production for BBC television, with Joss Ackland as the walker.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Michael Frayn\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0413171906\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780413171900\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Methuen Drama\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 10\/19\/1989\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 96\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.22lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 7.33h x 4.75w x 0.28d","brand":"Michael Frayn","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":48435410698495,"sku":"9780413171900","price":17.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_c1e05f9e-c60f-4327-bedc-4060e8206499.jpg?v=1777150204","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/first-last-michael-frayn-9780413171900","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
