Product Information
Twenty years ago, Bill Bryson went on a trip around Britain to celebrate the green and kindly island that had become his adopted country. The hilarious book that resulted, Notes from a Small Island, was taken to the nation's heart and became the bestselling travel book ever, and was also voted in a BBC poll the book that best represents Britain. Now, to mark the twentieth anniversary of that modern classic, Bryson makes a brand-new journey round Britain to see what has changed. Following (but not too closely) a route he dubs the Bryson Line, from Bognor Regis to Cape Wrath, by way of places that many people never get to at all, Bryson sets out to rediscover the wondrously beautiful, magnificently eccentric, endearingly unique country that he thought he knew but doesn't altogether recognize any more. Yet, despite Britain's occasional failings and more or less eternal bewilderments, Bill Bryson is still pleased to call our rainy island home. And not just because of the cream teas, a noble history, and an extra day off at Christmas. Once again, with his matchless homing instinct for the funniest and quirkiest, his unerring eye for the idiotic, the endearing, the ridiculous and the scandalous, Bryson gives us an acute and perceptive insight into all that is best and worst about Britain today.Product Identifiers

'More Drivelling', and not too many laughs.
This book is, of course, a follow-up to the much more amusing and original 'Notes from a Small Island'. As I obtained a cheap second- hand copy from ebay, in very good condition I have to say, I'm not complaining - although I would not have liked to pay the exorbitant price of a new copy. Some of the content has already been mentioned in the first 'Notes' and this volume is by an author who has been encouraged by his publisher to do more of the same over twenty years' later.. The section on the West Country is particularly sketchy, with hardly a mention of the interesting little town of Totnes, with its cast of eccentrics, may of whom spend their considerable free time in giving each other alternative therapies. I know, I've lived near there! Buy it if you must, but it's rather disappointing. And there isn't really a 'Little Dribbling', so that rather spoils the point of the title. Perhaps Britain can no longer be a subject of gentle humour but merely a rather sad reminder of what used to be delightful countryside (much of it now threatened with destruction or actually ruined, as Bryson points out) with ever fewer genuine 'characters' of whom to relate amusing anecdotes.Bestätigter Kauf: JaArtikelzustand: Gebraucht

So amusing
I've learned a lot about the UK reading this book. I've visited many of the places Bill Bryson includes in his book and have chuckled at his comments. I find myself agreeing with him most of the time - but I think that's because I'm of his generation. Highly recommended.Bestätigter Kauf: JaArtikelzustand: Gebraucht

Britain by Bryson - fun, interesting and very entertaining.
Bill Bryson once again sets off to see Britain via his 'Bryson Line'. His wry humour, incisive insights and informative descriptions of the places he visits makes for a great read. I would love to do some of the walks he does in this book. I have read the book several times. Bill Bryson is always good fun to read.Bestätigter Kauf: JaArtikelzustand: Neu
