Notes From A Small Island
Trade paperback in good condition with some wear to cover. Nice reading copy.
“Suddenly, in the space of a moment, I realized what it was that I loved about Britain—which is to say, all of it.”
After nearly two decades spent on British soil, Bill Bryson decided to return to the United States. But before departing, he set out on a grand farewell tour of the green and kindly island that had so long been his home.
Veering from the ludicrous to the endearing and back again, Notes From A Small Island is a delightfully irreverent jaunt around the unparalleled floating nation that has produces zebra crossings, Shakespeare, Twiggie Winkie’s Farm, and places with names like Farleigh Wallop and Titsey. The result is an uproarious social commentary that conveys the true glory of Britain, from the satiric pen of an unapologetic Anglophile.
