Notes From a Small Island

De: Bill Bryson

Narrado por: Bill Bryson

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.

Great read

Bryson once again comes through with vivid imagery, meticulous fact finding, and just the right blend of hilarity.

Couldn’t put it down

Every line has a purpose and most are there to make you laugh. Highly recommend.

I’m English and this was a trip down memory lane.

Mr Bryson great writer not so great actor. Don’t have a dog and bark yourself.

Relax to enjoy a slow journey

Any additional comments?

The first time I listened, I stopped for awhile because the pace was slow and I got impatient. When I returned to it, I relaxed and enjoyed the experience.

Bryson is funny

Bill Bryson writes well and funny HOWEVER terrible reading. why is he reading with a British accent? ruined a food book. was very disappointed 😞 .
The guy who narrated " A walk in the woods" was better.
