Twenty years ago, Bill Bryson went on a trip around Britain to
celebrate the green and kindly island that had become his adopted
country. The hilarious book that resulted, Notes from a Small
Island, was taken to the nation's heart and became the best-selling
travel book ever, and was also voted in a BBC poll the book that
best represents Britain.Now, to mark the twentieth anniversary of
that modern classic, Bryson makes a brand-new journey around
Britain to see what has changed. Following (but not too closely) a
route he dubs the Bryson Line, from Bognor Regis to Cape Wrath, by
way of places that many people never get to at all, Bryson sets out
to rediscover the wondrously beautiful, magnificently eccentric,
endearingly unique country that he thought he knew but doesn't
altogether recognize any more. 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. Once again, with his matchless homing instinct for the
funniest and quirkiest, his unerring eye for the idiotic, the
endearing, the ridiculous and the scandalous, Bryson gives us an
acute and perceptive insight into all that is best and worst about
Britain today. Music written and performed by Richard Digance,
inspired by The Road to Little Dribbling
