Notes from a Small Island
Featuring an all-new cover, New York Times bestseller Bill Bryson's irrevent and hilarious journey through the beloved island nation he called home for two decades. From Downing Street to Loch Ness, this is a delightful look at the United Kingdom.
Before New York Times bestselling author Bill Bryson wrote The Road to Little Dribbling, he took this delightfully irreverent jaunt around the unparalleled floating nation of Great Britain, which has produced zebra crossings, Shakespeare, Twiggie Winkie's Farm, and places with names like Farleigh Wallop and Titsey.

What people are saying
I work for you
A cab driver in Keswick recommended this Bill Bryson book “Notes From a Small Island” and it’s one of the most bizarre “comedy” books I’ve ever read. I grew up reading Dave Barry so trust me, I get Boomer humor. I *like* Boomer humor. But I don’t think Bill Bryson does.
'Provides charm, intelligence and civilised cultural analysis' - the FT. Great writers from around the world discuss their best known work.
@GibbsGibbs9 @emandherbooks We’re interviewing Bill Bryson about Notes from a Small Island on @bbcworldservice soon...if you’re a fan would you tweet a question for him here - and perhaps you can put it to him yourself on the radio? Thankyou!

Just finished the fabulous American Ramble by @NKingofDC - not meant to be as funny as Bill Bryson books like Walk in the Woods or Notes from a Small Island but very thought provoking about our county and one’s personal priorities.
