Scotland, Seen by Sir Sean Connery

Cannongate Books managed to convince the famous Bond actor to resume his efforts of writing his autobiography. The publishing house was among many that were competing for the book and they finally got Connery to sign a book deal with them.

'Scotland' will be a story about the country's history, mixed with autobiographical elements, anecdotes and life experiences of the 75-year-old actor. The Cannongate spokesperson said, during a press conference that, quote 'We are absolutely thrilled to be publishing Connery's Scotland. Not only is it going to be a fascinating and revelatory book about Scotland, but Sir Sean is a natural storyteller with his own great story to tell'.

The book will be released in 2007, on the occasion of the 300th anniversary of the Treaty of Union between Scotland and England and, on its cover, it will also feature the name of the director and writer, Murray Grigor, besides that of Sir Connery.
