About this product

Product Information

The number one Sunday Times bestseller- Bill Bryson's first travel book for fifteen years - a brand new journey around Britain. WINNER- NATIONAL GEOGRAPHIC TRAVELLER READER AWARD FOR BEST TRAVEL BOOK OF THE YEAR 2016 WINNER- BOOKS ARE MY BAG READER AWARD FOR BEST AUTOBIOGRAPHY OR BIOGRAPHY 2016 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.

    Disappointing

    Having enjoyed all Bryson's books so far, I looked forward to the update of "Small Island." I recently re read the notes from a small island and found it just as satisfying as the first time. I lived in both the UK and USA, and appreciated his humorous perception of the differences. However I was disappointed in Little Dribbling. This, somehow, didn't hit the mark. Comparisons between us and uk peculiarities are quite different to the more gentle comparisons of the same places over a gap in time. Perhaps it's because go changes of places with time are inevitable and not as remarkable as differences between places at the same point in time, which are often surprising. Bryson's humour is still enjoyable but for me, not as funny. I can't be,I eve that the reviewers quo Ted in the book ...

  • Bryson at his best

    This book is hilarious and also very informative. His encounters with people along the way are brilliantly told and his fondness for the country is quite obvious. Highly recommended.
