catherine_t 's review for:
Bill Bryson takes the reader on another tour of his adopted home of Great Britain. Funny and insightful, he discusses such topics as British shop assistants, the delights of tea and cake, and trains. He walks through parts of the Lake District, visits Bognor Regis because it seems the thing to do, and muses on the decline of Blackpool as a holiday destination. Above all, he expresses his love for his new country (at the start of the book, he's preparing to take out British citizenship).
I loved Bryson's first book on the UK, Notes from a Small Island; I still occasionally take it down from the shelf and re-read it, especially now that I've been to the UK a few times. The Road to Little Dribbling is no less enjoyable; in fact, I suspect I may have to get my own copy (the one I read I borrowed from the library) so I can have the pleasure of re-reading it at intervals. Many of the things he loves about Britain are exactly the things that I love about it: cream teas and public footpaths, the national parks and the National Trust. There's nothing not to like about this book, quite frankly.
