Bill Bryson does well in portraying Britain’s splendors and regress as a resident and a traveler. With this delightful travelogue I’ve had a circumstantial stroll through much of Britain, albeit without any maps or pictorial evidence I’m still drawing a blank as to my own whereabouts. I am constantly filled with admiration at this. That is its glory, you see – that it manages at once to be intimate and small-scale and at the same time packed to bursting with incident and interest. And it occurred to me, not for the first time, what a remarkably, cherishably small world Britain is.
