When Bill Bryson decided to take his family back to America for a while, he took one last tour around the British Isles. After the very humorous and bestselling accounts of his trips to Europe (}Neither Here Nor There{) and back to small-town America (}The Lost Continent{), he takes stock of the nation that has produced Marmite, place names like Farleigh Wallopp and Titsey, and programmes like }Gardeners' Question Time{. "Not a book that should be read in public, for fear of emitting loud snorts" }The Times{.
