In 1995, Bill Bryson travels around Britain on a farewell trip before moving to the United States. He humorously reviews what makes the country peculiar: Marmite, place names like Farleigh Wallop or Shellow Bowells, sayings like «mustn't grumble» and Gardeners' Question Time. The book was a bestseller, with over two million copies sold.
Originally published in 1995, it is number 9 in the «Bryson» series and was also marketed as «Journey Through Britain».
For readers of travel literature who want a humorous and intimate view of British life and landscapes.
