Bill Bryson is an unabashed Anglophile who, through a mistake of history, happened to be born and bred in Iowa. Righting that error, he spent 20 years in England before deciding to repatriate. This was partly to let his wife and children experience life in Bryson's homeland - and partly because he had read that 3.7 million Americans believed that they had been abducted by aliens at one time or another. It was thus clear to him that his people needed him. 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 modern-day Britain, and to analyze what he loved so much about a country that produced Marmite, zebra crossings, and place names like Farleigh Wallop, Titsey, and Shellow Bowells.©1998 Bill Bryson; (P)1998 Bantam Doubleday Dell Audio Publishing, Bantam Doubleday Dell, A Division of Random House Inc.

Loved it, my exact recollections of Britian. Makes me want to take another tour of the island.

Bill Bryson does a masterful job of narrating his excellent literary work. His droll delivery is a perfect complement to the wry humour that permeates the book.

A Perfect Picture

There's no doubt that Bill Bryson can write tremendously entertaining travel books, with some of the most perfect descriptions you can imagine. He just can't narrate.

It's dreary and plodding and can't hold a candle to Kerry Shale. Doesn't do the voices, hardly even changes pitch, doesn't give it any life at all. Such wasted potential. Still enjoyable, you just constantly wish it was read by someone who sounded like they cared.
