A Walk In The Woods: The World’s Funniest Travel Writer Takes a Hike Audiobook (Free)

The Appalachian Trail covers 14 states, and over 2,000 miles. It stretches along the East Coastline of the United States, from Maine in the north to Georgia in the south. It is famous for becoming the longest continuous footpath in the world. (Compare and contrast this with the Pennine Way, which really is a simple 250 miles lengthy.)

Reared in the tradition of Mark Twain, Wayne Thurber and S.J. Perelman, Bryson used his many years in Britain to soak up a peculiarly English feeling of irony and humour and to hone a laugh-out-loud style that is uniquely, hilariously, his very own.
