Description
Twenty Years Ago, Bill Bryson Went On A Trip Around Britain To Discover And Celebrate That Green And Pleasant Land. The Result Was Notes From A Small Island, One Of The Bestselling Travel Books Ever Written. Now He Has Traveled About Britain Again, By Bus And Train And Rental Car And On Foot, To See What Has Changed -- And What Hasn't. Following A Route He Dubs The Bryson Line, From Bognor Regis In The South To Cape Wrath In The North, By Way Of Places Few Travelers Ever Get To At All, Bryson Rediscovers The Wondrously Beautiful, Magnificently Eccentric, Endearingly Singular Country That He Both Celebrates And, When Called For, Twits. With His Instinct For The Funny And Quirky, And His Eye For The Idiotic, The Bewildering, The Appealing, And The Ridiculous, He Offers Insights Into All That Is Best And Worst About Britain Today. Bugger Bognor! -- Seven Sisters -- Dover -- London -- Motopia -- A Great Park -- Into The Forest -- Beside The Seaside -- Day Trips -- To The West -- Devon -- Cornwall -- Ancient Britain -- East Anglia -- Cambridge -- Oxford And About -- The Midlands -- It's So Bracing! -- The Peak District -- Wales -- The North -- Lancashire -- The Lakes -- Yorkshire -- Durham And The Northeast -- To Cape Wrath (and Considerably Beyond).
