The Road to Little Dribbling: Adventures of an American in Britain -- Bill Bryso

In 1995, Iowa native Bill Bryson took a motoring trip around Britain to explore that green and pleasant land. The uproarious book that resulted, <i>Notes from a Small Island</i>, is one of the most acute portrayals of the United Kingdom ever written. Two decades later, Bryson--now a British citizen--set out again to rediscover his adopted country. In these pages, he follows a straight line through the island--from Bognor Regis to Cape Wrath--and shows us every pub, stone village, and human foible along the way. <p/> Whether he is dodging cow attacks in Torcross, getting lost in the H&M on Kensington High Street, or--more seriously--contemplating the future of the nation's natural wonders in the face of aggressive development, Bryson guides us through the old and the new with vivid detail and laugh-out-loud humor. Irreverent, endearing, and always hilarious, <i>The Road to Little Dribbling</i> is filled with Bill Bryson's deep knowledge and love of his chosen home.<br><br><b>Author:</b> Bill Bryson<br><b>Publisher:</b> Anchor Books<br><b>Published:</b> 10/25/2016<br><b>Pages:</b> 400<br><b>Binding Type:</b> Paperback<br><b>Weight:</b> 0.85lbs<br><b>Size:</b> 7.90h x 5.20w x 1.00d<br><b>ISBN:</b> 9780804172714<br><p><b>About the Author</b><br>Bill Bryson's bestselling books include <i>A Walk in the Woods</i> (now a major motion picture starring Robert Redford and Nick Nolte), <i>Notes from a Small Island, I'm a Stranger Here Myself, In a Sunburned Country, A Short History of N
