More Notes From a Small Island. Twenty years ago, Bill Bryson went on a trip around Britain to celebrate the green and kindky island thst had become his adopted country. The hilarious book that resulted, Notes From a Small Island, was taken to the nation's heart and became the best-selling travel book ever, and was also voted in a BBC poll the book that best represents Britain. Now, to mark the twentieth anniversary of that modern classic, Bryson makes a brand-new journey around Britain to see what has changed. Following (but not too closely) a route he dubs the Bryson Line, from Bognor Regis to Cape Wrath, by way of places that many people never get to at all, Bryson sets out to rediscover the wondrously beautiful, magnificently eccentric, endearingly unique country that he thought he knew but doesn't altogether recognize any more. Yet despite Britain';s occasional failings and more or less eternal bewilderments, Bill Bryson is still pleased to call our rainy island home. And not just because of the cream teas, a noble history, and an extra day off at Christmas. 385 pp. (We carry a wide selection of titles in The Arts, Theology, History, Politics, Social and Physical Sciences.

With decorated endpapers & loosely inserted newspaper clippings. ; 24.1 x 16 x 2.7 cms; 282 pages; Notes from a Small Island (1995) by Bill Bryson is a humorous and affectionate travel memoir in which the American author recounts a farewell tour of Britain before moving back to the United States after nearly two decades of living in the UK. Bryson travels by public transport across England, Scotland, and Wales, visiting both famous landmarks and obscure towns. Along the way, he reflects on British quirks, language, history, architecture, and the often baffling but endearing national character. His observations are laced with wit, irony, and genuine admiration, even when he critiques aspects of modernisation, urban planning, or customer service. The book is part travelogue, part love letter, and part social commentary. It became a bestseller in Britain and remains one of Bryson's most beloved works, capturing the charm, eccentricity, and quiet resilience of British life in the late 20th century.
