Following a route from
Bognor Regis to Cape Wrath, by way of places that many people never get
to, Bryson sets out to rediscover the wondrously beautiful, magnificently
eccentric, endearingly and unique country that he thought he knew. 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!
"There were moments when I snorted out loud with
laughter while reading this book in public…He can be as gloriously silly
as ever." THE TIMES
