Notes From A Small Island by Bill Bryson

Notes From A Small Island by Bill Bryson

In 1995, before leaving his much-loved home in North Yorkshire to move back to the States for a few years with his family, Bill Bryson insisted on taking one last trip around Britain, a sort of valedictory tour of the green and kindly island that had so long been his home.

Splendid.. What's enjoyable is that there's as much of Bryson in here as there is of Britain * Sunday Telegraph *
Bryson is funny because he is not afraid to give completely of himself * Daily Express *
Astute and funny...a tribute to [Britain's] enchantments by an unabashed anglophile. * New York Times *
