Absolutely addicted to reading his books, he really is a great writer, hilarious, descriptive, knowledgable, its everything you could want. I sit belly laughing at sections of his books, to the point where I totally disturb my partner who is trying to sleep! Highly recommend, my now favourite go to, I completely switch off from the daily stresses, He is a brilliant read.

a long book with an incredible bibliography - maybe 500 sources - it's a semipersonal tale of Bill's Norfolk home and the rooms in the house. For example in the drawing room all about the design of furniture and story of Thomas Chippendale, or the bedroom and how servants didn't have a bedroom in many cases, and slept in the kitchen, or wherever they could find room. Many of these anecdotal stories are entertaining and lead one on to wonder 'what about my house' or why didnt ... ? I laugh out loud at many of mr Bryson's books, and this is one where I at least left the book knowing more than when I started - a great work.
Brilliantly written with a seemingly endless stream of fascinating facts. Great research by Bill. Get educated whilst being entertained

A lot of interesting (and not so interesting) facts and a great deal of wit. A fabulous story teller....
