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

In 1995, Iowa native Bill Bryson took a motoring trip around Britain to explore that green and pleasant land. The uproarious book that resulted, Notes from a Small Island, is one of the most acute portrayals of the United Kingdom ever written. Two decades later, Brysonâ€”now a British citizenâ€”set out again to rediscover his adopted country. In these pages, he follows a straight line through the islandâ€”from Bognor Regis to Cape Wrathâ€”and shows us every pub, stone village, and human foible along the way.

Whether he is dodging cow attacks in Torcross, getting lost in the H&M on Kensington High Street, orâ€”more seriouslyâ€”contemplating the future of the nationâ€™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, The Road to Little Dribbling is filled with Bill Brysonâ€™s deep knowledge and love of his chosen home.
