Dear Bill Bryson by Ben Aitken
A new edition of an irreverent homage to the '95 travel classic, from the author of The Gran Tour.
It would be wrong to view this book as just a highly accomplished homage to a personal heroAitken's politics, as much as his humour, are firmly in the spotlight, and Dear Bill Bryson achieves more than its title intended. * Manchester Review *
