Twenty years after Notes From A Small Island was published it was suggested by Bill Bryson's publisher that a follow up be written. I am very glad that it has been. I love Bryson's easy rambling style, full of humour and information that you won't find probably anywhere else.
In this book he re-visits some places from his original book but this mostly contains places that he hasn't written about before.
He starts in Bognor Regis and ends at Cape Wrath. A line is drawn between these two locations and is referred to as the Bryson line. He works his trip east and west of this entirely self created geometrical divide.
Bill Bryson is the teacher I never had, full of information with a sense of humour that never stops, read and enjoy.
