Synopsis

Bill Bryson has the rare knack of being out of his depth wherever he goes - even (perhaps especially) in the land of his birth! After two decades in England, the world's best-loved travel writer upped sticks with Mrs. Bryson etal and returned to live in the country he had left as a youth.Bryson brings his inimitable brand of bemused wit to bear on the world's richest and craziest country.

Editorial Reviews

"'One of his best books'" - Scott Bradfield, Independent

"'Delightful bite-size essays that exude affection while debunking the ridiculous with wonderful succinctness...This is not a book to be read in a single sitting. It is one to be savoured'" - Martin Fletcher, The Times

"'Bill Bryson's answer to Alistair Cooke's Letter From America...not only hilarious but also insightful and informative'" - Jeremy Atiyah, Independent on Sunday

"'Bryson is great when explaining the idiosyncracies of America to middle England and making it funny... He is both serious and contemtuously funny'" - Guardian
