First published 2015
Beloved travel writer Bill Bryson sets out on a rollicking journey across his adopted homeland. Hopping trains, buses, and rental cars, he explores the quirks and charms of contemporary Britain—from quaint villages to thronging cities, and everything in between. With his trademark wit, Bryson celebrates the country's timeless beauty and endearing eccentricities, while also holding a mirror to its changing social landscape. Poignant and uproariously funny, "The Road to Little Dribbling" is a joyful love letter to this "green and pleasant land."
