The Road to Little Dribbling: More Notes From a Small Island
by Bill Bryson
Bill Bryson takes another trip around the country, following a different route to the one he took in [b:Notes from a Small Island|13542048|Notes from a Small Island|Bill Bryson|https://i.gr-assets.com/images/S/compressed.photo.goodreads.com/books/1331775349l/13542048._SY75_.jpg|940892].
Somewhat "south-centric", it takes 300 pages to reach the Midlands, followed by a short detour to Wales, 400 pages to get up north, and the final pages see him in Scotland.
He has an amiable style, and describes the places and people well. Tends to go on a rant about the decline of them when compared to his first impressions when he arrived in the 1970's for his longer than expected stay.
As usual there's side tracks into the history of people who had a connection with the places, as well as some of the impressive things built that now tend to be overlooked or forgotten.
