About this listen
After nearly two decades in Britain, Bill Bryson took the decision to move back to the States for a while but before leaving his much-loved home in North Yorkshire, Bryson insisted on taking one last trip around Britain. His aim was to take stock of the nation's public face and private parts (as it were), and to analyse what precisely it was he loved so much about a country that had produced Marmite, a military hero whose dying wish was to be kissed by a fellow named Hardy, place names like Farleigh Wallop and Shellow Bowells, people who said 'Mustn't grumble', and Gardeners' Question Time.

A True Joy!
As much as this book was a joy to read, it was made even better by having Mr. Bill Bryson read it to me. It helped me through the pandemic, when I needed both a good laugh and an escape to a pace beyond the corner store.

A delightful listen
Though occasionally vulgar, the wit is sharp, the story good. I've enjoyed anything by Bryson.

I liked it
Good fun! The randomly-occurring music toward the end (not the closing music, just... random music) was a bit weird though!

Better narratives
William Roberts is better for this book. Bill Bryson is only good on his factual books.
