Description

"Suddenly, in the area of a minute, I understood what it had been that I loved about Britain-which can be to express, all it."After nearly 2 decades allocated to British soil, Bill Bryson-bestsellingauthor of Mom Tongue and Madeinamerica-chose to returnto the Usa. ("I'd recently read," Bryson writes, "that 3.7 million Americans believed that they'd been abducted by aliens previously or another,therefore it was clear that my people needed me.") But before departing, he put down ona great farewell tour of the green and kindly island that had such a long time been his home.Veering from the ludicrous to the endearing and again, Notes from a Little Island is just a delightfully irreverent jaunt round the unparalleled floating nation that's produced zebra crossings, Shakespeare, Twiggie Winkie's Farm, and places with names like Farleigh Wallop and Titsey. The end result is definitely an uproarious social commentary that conveys the real glory of Britain, from the satiric pen of an unapologetic Anglophile."Suddenly, in the area of a minute, I understood what it had been that I loved about Britain-which can be to express, all it."After nearly 2 decades allocated to British soil, Bill Bryson-best-selling writer of,i>Mom Tongue and Madeinamerica-chose to go back to the Usa. ("I'd recently read," Bryson writes, "that 3.7 million Americans believed that they'd been abducted by aliens previously or another, therefore it was clear that my people needed me.") But before departing, he put down on a grand farewell tour of the green and kindly island that had such a long time been his home.
